Friendly neighbors are villains

Facing Eric's questioning, Amy replied lightly: "Go to the Avengers Building, my friend is there, he will take me in, but thank you very much for saving me, Mr. Magneto."

Eric let the rest of the children sit on a school bus. They may not have seen Magneto, but they must have heard his name. At this time, the children have already regarded Eric as their boss.Leo hesitated a little, he stared at Amy for a while, and followed the other children onto the yellow school bus.

He had never been to school, and this was Leo's first time on a school bus. The little boy seemed very excited, but very careful.

Amy saw a red Lamborghini parked in front of the school bus. It looked familiar, like the one she bought in the game store. Amy kept the car parked in the garage of the villain’s base camp. She only drove it once, all for Rescue the one bought by Eric, and appear here at this time, making Amy have to suspect that this is the one she bought.

Thinking of this, Amy gets angry for no reason. She is now clinking poor, with no money in the treasury, and she doesn't even have decent clothes and shoes.The original account, which could be called the richest person in New York and even the entire United States, was stolen, and she swore that she had to find a way to get it back.

"There is no Avengers Building anymore." Eric said, "You can only go back with me now."

Amy was a little surprised. The choice she made was rejected by the person concerned. According to the game settings, Eric had no reason to keep Amy.

"I don't understand," Amy asked, "what does it mean that the Avengers Tower is gone?"

She guessed that this was because the order of the entire game world had not been disturbed. Although the system popped up options, the plot might not follow the set direction.

"If you have friends working or taking refuge in it, I can tell you now that there is no one in that place, and everyone, including superheroes and agents, has left that building." Eric was very patient, But he explained stiffly that he doesn't hate superheroes, he just resists them very much.

Eric despises all behaviors that protect ordinary people. He doesn't think that there are people other than superpowers who need protection in this world.

Because if most people know that superpowers are persecuted by ordinary people, the first thing they think of is not rescue and mercy, but that the other party must have done something wrong to be punished.

So the move to protect ordinary people is very stupid in Eric's view.

"Where did they go?" Amy believed he was not deceiving herself.

"I want to know too." Eric pointed to the school bus and said, "Your question time is over, get on the bus, don't worry about my intentions against you, I helped a lot of kids like you, they are all safe now where no one will hurt you again."

"Sorry, I don't think I can go with you, I have my own things to do." Amy rejected Eric's kindness again, she needs to go to the Avengers Building to find out the situation, if there is really no one there So where is Peter then?

Eric's voice was a little heavy: "I'm afraid you have no choice, once you leave my shelter, you won't live long."

"I don't have super powers, I'm just an ordinary person." Amy said, she knows how to live, but she must not follow Magneto, then she may face death at any time.

Magneto will definitely bring these children into the villain's base camp, and the fake duke will definitely sit there. Amy hasn't figured out how to deal with the super villains. Can't think of a more suitable solution than this.

Also, she was desperate to make sure Peter was safe.

"Ordinary people?" Eric seemed to have heard a joke, "An ordinary person cannot open the suppressor."

"I just happen to know what to do." Amy said, "Mr. Magneto, I am useless to you, and you don't need to be responsible for my life and death. I want to find a very important friend to me... She paused, "It's a boyfriend."

"It seems that your boyfriend is not worthy of nostalgia. He let you be in danger." Eric said thoughtfully.

"He doesn't know I'm in danger." Amy defended Peter, if he knew, he would show up immediately.

To be honest, Amy is now worried that Peter is in trouble. They entered the game through irregular channels. Amy can't guarantee whether Peter can survive in this world as Spider-Man.

Theoretically speaking, Peter should also be a player.

"Maybe, okay, stop dawdling, get in the car, it's not safe to stay here for a long time." Eric urged, he took a step forward, intending to drag Amy directly onto the school bus.

Amy took a few steps back and made a gesture to escape: "I guess you only want to save children with super powers. I can't satisfy your request. I'm useless to you."

Eric was only stunned for a moment, and the corner of his mouth was stained with an inexplicable smile: "You seem to know me very well."

Amy said calmly, "I guess you don't need an ordinary person like me." She bit the accent on the word 'ordinary'.

"I'd love to hear your explanation of the basis for your guess." Eric grabbed Amy's arm directly and forced the girl into the school bus.

"Wait, don't be like this, I really have something to do, I can't go with you, my boyfriend is waiting for me, I have to find him immediately!" Amy knew that she was not Magneto's opponent, and she missed the Duke so much at the moment "Please, let me go!"

Eric was indifferent to Amy's prayer. He manipulated the surrounding metal objects to seal the school bus back and forth.

The children were taken aback before they broke out of their predicament and seemed to have fallen into a new hell.

There was a commotion in the car, including Amy, and the rest of the children wanted to get out of the car, but the doors and windows were completely blocked by metal, and they could at most stretch their arms out.

Eric said to the children in a soothing tone as much as possible, "You have been locked inside for too long, and you don't know what is going on outside. It will be 12 midnight soon, and the living cannot stay outside." To Amy, "You'd better not try to escape, it won't do you any good, and you'll see why later, now, sit back in your seat and put on your seat belt."

"What do you mean?" Amy asked.

Magneto probably thought of Amy as a problem child: "You talk too much. If you insist on leaving me, wait until you see what happens next before considering whether to go to your boyfriend." He raised his voice and diverted Amy's attention.

Without waiting for Amy to continue talking nonsense to himself, Eric got into the Lamborghini, and Amy lay on the rear window of the school bus aggrieved.

That was the car she bought, and she wanted to ride in a Lamborghini too.

But soon, Amy's eyes were attracted by the shadow running outside the window. It was too dark outside, and she couldn't see the shape of the shadow for the time being, but her intuition told her that it would not be a good thing.Immediately afterwards, she smelled a familiar acidic smell gradually coming in from various gaps in the school bus.

The other children also smelled the choking smell.

It's a bug!

Amy knew the smell all too well.

Without giving her much time to think, Amy saw countless insects and beasts flying past them through the not-so-bright headlights. Huge monsters flooded towards them like a flood, and some jumped onto the roof of the car , making the whole carriage shake non-stop.

The worms passing by the school bus seemed to smell the smell of humans and tried to enter. Fortunately, Eric wrapped the whole body with iron sheets, so that the monsters were not so easy to break through.

The children were terrified. They had never seen such a scary-looking thing. They screamed one after another, attracting more insects and beasts to covet them.

"Keep quiet!" Amy said to the children, "you'll attract all the bugs around you!"

The worm has almost no weaknesses, and even if its head is cut off, its body can remain active for hours.They are especially sensitive to smells and sounds, and even have vision beyond ordinary insects, whether it is day or night.

Only at this time, Amy had to admit that she had done too much before. In order to win the customs clearance, she had worked hard on the development of insects.

It is difficult for the children to keep calm. Although they lived in the fiery hell before, all they saw were human beings. Now they are very afraid of the attacks of insects and beasts.Except for Leo, the collars around their necks have not been removed, and they feel desperate that they cannot use superpowers to protect themselves.

However, Eric was right in not taking off their suppressors. In a small space, if these restless children release superpowers at the same time, it will be useless except for hurting themselves.

Amy finally persuaded the children to gather everyone in the middle of the car and keep them away from the windows as much as possible. Although the bodies of insects and beasts are too large to squeeze through the windows, their feet can be stretched in. Those barbs can hook anyone's clothes at will. Can take people away.

"Magneto, take us out of here!" Amy shouted towards Lamborghini.

The people in the car didn't respond, nor did they respond to drive away the insects, as if they deliberately ignored Amy's appeal.

"Damn it." Amy snapped.

She knew very well that Eric could use the magnetic force to fly the two cars into the air. The worms were huge, and their flight speed was their only weakness, but it would not be a defect, but at least Eric could get them out of trouble, so that they would not Sitting still like you are now.

Obviously Eric didn't intend to keep them out of danger so quickly, he wanted Amy to understand the consequences of being alone.

Amy wasn't afraid of the bugbeasts themselves, but the acidic solution they sprayed on the backside would melt the school bus.

Sure enough, it didn’t take long before the roof started to smoke, and Amy quickly asked the children to retreat a little further in. After a few seconds, the roof was gradually dissolved by strong acid into mottled holes, and acid water flowed into the car from time to time. Dropping, ordinary iron skin can't stop the attack of insects and beasts at all.

Just when Amy thought that they were about to encounter a more dangerous attack, the school bus gradually floated into the air, and the Lamborghini also rose up. Dozens of long metal pipes shot over, destroying the monsters hanging on both sides of the school bus.

The two cars flew higher and higher one after the other, away from the range of the insect swarm, and fresh air kept pouring into the car.

The danger is gone, but Amy is not happy. If she knows that one day her achievements will become a sharp weapon against herself, Amy will definitely design a weakness for the insects to fall apart when touched.

Eric brought the children into the villain's base camp. At first, Amy was a little worried about whether she would encounter the Duke, but it turned out that she was overthinking. Eric placed everyone in a minor-only area, far away from the high-level where the Duke was. At least 80 floors away.

Amy believes that the Duke must not be interested in dealing with the group of children at the bottom.

The underage area was specially reserved by Amy for Magneto for him to take in the little mutants. The space is very large. Amy was assigned to a room that can see the side of the Avengers Building, which is an independent bedroom.

She changed into clean clothes and stood by the window. There was no neon night scene outside, it was pitch black everywhere, and the only street lamps could not illuminate the darkness of New York.

The Avengers Building also lost its former brilliance, as if it had been swallowed by darkness, and Amy could barely see the outline of the building.

No need to think about what happened here before Amy appeared. She didn't intend to sigh with emotion. Amy just wanted to figure out where the superheroes went. They must still be alive, otherwise the game would have ended long ago.

Suddenly the phone rang in the bedroom, and Amy found that there was actually a landline on the bedside table. She walked over, picked up the phone, and a hard mechanical female voice came from the receiver.

"0256, Magneto wants to see you."

Amy froze for a moment, but didn't realize what 0256 was. After a pause for two seconds, she realized that it was her number in the laboratory.

"How is he going to see me?" Amy asked into the receiver.

"Go out of the room, turn left, go all the way to the end, enter the elevator and press the 35th floor, someone will come to greet you."

After the mechanical voice finished speaking, he hung up the call.

The mechanical voice comes from the smart housekeeper of the entire building. Of course, this set is also imitated by Stark. Amy used to choose a male voice to pronounce, but now it has become a female voice.

Amy walked all the way to the door on the 35th floor according to the smart housekeeper's prompt. She knew that Eric lived on this floor.

The door was very tightly guarded, Amy made a face at the camera, the door opened, and she believed Eric was watching her.

This is the first time Amy has entered Magneto's activity area. In the past, she went to Hannibal's territory more.

"Good evening, Mr. Magneto." Amy greeted.

Eric was sitting in front of a boss chair, flipping through the documents, he looked at Amy, and pointed to the opposite side of himself.

Amy walked over to take a seat. She noticed that Eric was holding her own information, more precisely, the information of her new identity. Amy guessed that he would never see anything useful.

"You don't seem to be frightened?" Eric put down the document in his hand and looked directly at Amy.

The children who arrived at the villain's base camp with Amy were all ashen-faced, and they were terrified by the insects. Some even had a vomiting reaction, which may be caused by excessive inhalation of the irritating smell.

"Compared to what happened in the laboratory, those bugs are nothing." Amy said casually, "Why did they appear there? You seemed to have been prepared for it at the time."

"You don't ask me why I want to see you?" Eric leaned back in his chair and looked directly at her.

Amy shrugged: "This is the second question, you can tell me whichever answer you want."

"Every day at 12 o'clock in the morning, the insects will look for food in the city." Eric said to her, with no emotion in his tone, "it will last until the end of three o'clock in the morning, and all the active creatures during this time will become those monsters prey."

"Are there any living people in this city who dare to appear at night?" Amy said, "There are so many monsters, I'm afraid they won't be able to eat enough."

"It's not so much foraging, it's better to say it's patrolling." Eric said.

During the day, the villains are the world, and the civilians in New York dare not show up. At night, some civilians will have to go out to find resources due to the shortage of food. If you are lucky, you can go home before the worms come out. If you are unlucky , naturally became the feed of insects and beasts.

Amy knows how powerful the worms are. As long as anyone can control them, it is equivalent to having a huge army, which is more useful than 100 Captain America.

"Now, let me answer your second question." Eric said, "I want to know how you opened the suppressor on Leo's neck. According to your information, you don't have this knowledge. "

"I destroyed the circuit of the suppressor." Amy said, "I have seen those researchers do similar things before, I just try my luck."

"Have you ever thought that if you are unlucky, Leo will be killed by the anti-theft device of the suppressor." Eric's expression was consistent, as if he was testing.

"I thought about it." Amy said honestly, "but if I don't, he will be killed by the researcher, and the result will be the same."

Eric was silent for a while.

Amy felt a little pressure. Although Magneto and Professor X are always bound together to become everyone's talking point, you will feel relaxed chatting with Professor X, but facing Magneto, this kind and friendly man does not exist at all. You will have a feeling that you will be killed by him at any time.

Amy knew that he generally didn't hurt mutants, even enemies, but herself, not having any super powers meant she was a redundant waste.

"Are you nervous?" Eric seemed to see Amy's discomfort.

"Kind of way." Amy said unabashedly, "I don't know why you want to see me alone, and I'm the only one of them not wearing a suppressor, and they say you hate humans like me."

"Who are they?" Eric asked.

Amy lied calmly: "Researcher."

Eric was noncommittal, he stood up, walked to a locker, Eric took out a box of chocolates from the cabinet.

"We met before." He walked back to his place and pushed the chocolate to Amy, "Do you like it?"

These are two sentences, and these two sentences represent different meanings. The first sentence is to tell Amy why he is seeing her alone now, and the latter sentence is to ask Amy if she likes chocolate.

Amy looked at the chocolate wrapper in front of her calmly. It was the milk flavor she liked, which was sweeter than the usual flavor: "Have we seen it?" Amy was a little out of her mind.

Eric didn't pay attention to the matter of chocolate anymore. He had just given a gift of sincerity, and the next thing is the topic: "It's normal that you don't remember. I was not what I am now, and neither are you. At that time, your Still blonde hair, blue eyes, with two boys, and you're at a Spider-Man themed party at a boy named Thompson's house."

He spoke in great detail, and casually helped Amy recall the scene when the two of them met.

Amy immediately remembered that when they were in the Thompson Villa, she had a brief contact with Eric in less than 10 seconds. She did not expect that the other party still retained the previous memory. The identity of the electrician was mixed in. In order to get a special piece of metal for the Duke, the red Lamborghini was temporarily purchased at that time. 【Chapter 26】

"I guess you remembered," Eric said. "Your name is Amy, isn't it?"

"Yes." Amy said.

"It seems that your information in the laboratory is fake. It says that you grew up in an orphanage and were sent to a place where you were detained at the age of 16." Eric said, "You are a little different, I Can feel some kind of power hidden in your body, but for some reason, there is no way to release it."

Amy's eyes widened.

"Do you want to gain mutant power?" Eric asked.

"You want to experiment with me too?" Amy said.

"With me, you have the right to refuse." Eric said, "If you figure it out, you can come to me at any time. Since the whole world is not peaceful, you'd better consider my proposal seriously. I know how to use it. Safe way to awaken your powers, if you end up going to the Avengers instead of staying here."

Amy bit her lower lip and hesitated for a few seconds. She wasn't sure if she should tell the other party that she was the real Duke. She had saved Eric twice: "Are you working for the Duke, Mr. Magneto? "Amy asked tentatively.

"You can call me Eric," he said. "I used to do things for 'The Duke'. Now, I do things for myself."

After getting an ambiguous answer, Amy returned to her room. The interior was very simple, but it was better than the treatment in the research room.

She took a shower, changed into pajamas, lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling in a daze.

Amy didn't know what to do next, whether she should accept Eric's suggestion, if she had the power, would she be able to deal with the Duke.

With a mind full of doubts, Amy was drowsy. She didn't need to sleep in the game before, but now, she has completely become a part of the game world, no longer a simple player wearing VR glasses , so she needs sleep to recover her strength.

As for the piece of chocolate, Amy had already eaten it just now, because she still felt hungry.

With sleepy eyes, Amy felt that someone had entered her room, and a momentary chill down her spine woke her up.

Amy closed her eyes and slowly reached under her pillow, where she kept a pair of small scissors.The prop found in the drawer of the bedside table in the bedroom is Amy's only weapon at the moment.

The visitor gradually approached Amy's bed, and when the other person was about to touch her, Amy turned over and swung the scissors at the intruder's neck, but her attack was stopped by a strong hand before it even started.

"You are much more aggressive than I thought." The speaker spoke slowly and in a low voice.

The bedside lamp came on, and Amy stared in disbelief at the man who had appeared in her room.

"Hannibal!" She called out his name.

The author has something to say: more than 6000 words, I tried my best, babies!

It's time to climb the wall again~
