tech killer

Chapter 42 Gifts

There are now four people standing in this small ward, which can be said to be full.

One is Tony Stark, a serious-looking billionaire playboy who is well-known in the United States, and his title is Iron Man; the other is the consulting detective Mr. Locke Holmes; one is Sherlock's indispensable assistant, John Watson, a former military doctor who participated in the Iraq War; the other one is standing at the door, holding a bag of food in his hand, not tall, An 11-year-old boy with short brown hair in a mess, as if he strayed into some strange place, Peter Parker, whose painting style is completely different from these three big guys.

Elsa: ... so desperate.

Peter Parker fixed his eyes on Tony Stark.Seeing that Iron Man's hairs almost stand on end.But Mr. Iron Man is obviously very calm.He glanced at the dull-looking Cinderella on the hospital bed: "It really is a family, it's Mr. Stark, don't bark."

"Okay, Mr. Stark!" Little Peter finally met his living idol, his eyes glistened with excitement.

The newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. This little Mr. Parker was excited and nervous, and walked to Elsa's hospital bed with the bag on his hands and feet. He took a few quick breaths and then held his breath to relieve himself from jumping too fast. Out of tune heartbeat.

He asked Elsa in a voice that he thought was very small, but in fact everyone heard it: "Elsa! So you know Mr. Stark! Did he know that you were injured and came to see you! "

"Uh...Actually, I just..." Tony Stark looked at the boy whose eyes were all on himself, and suddenly felt unable to say anything serious, "Let's see if she feels better."

If there are too many people here, this little girl will not tell the truth. It is better to leave first and find her at another time. Anyway, her identity has been confirmed and she cannot escape.Speaking of which, according to the data collected by Jarvis, there are no eligible women around John Watson, but apparently this Elsa Saron and John Watson knew each other.

And very close.

Tony Stark glanced over the other four present.The little girl on the bed with a broken face still has a chance to see you again; the underage one, staring at her for a while, is a fanboy, too young to be included in the watch list for the time being; as for the other two British...

He pretended to be free and easy with a smile, waved his hands, turned around and left.

Sherlock didn't even look at Elsa. As soon as Tony Stark went out, Sherlock Holmes followed him out and closed the door behind him.

Iron Man's number one fan, Peter Parker, became depressed. If he really had a pair of canine ears, he would definitely droop: "Mr. Stark just left...I haven't even introduced myself yet."

He raised his hand and rubbed his hair, and he became happy again in a blink of an eye: "Elsa, did you think I looked calm just now? I am not ashamed! I am so happy to see Mr. Stark! Ai Elsa, how did you know Mr. Stark? He actually put down his Iron Man job to see you...Elsa? What happened to Elsa?"

Elsa Sasha with a blank face: "I, I don't know Peter."

Subconsciously, she raised her left hand to touch her face, found that it was a plaster cast, and replaced it with the other one, rubbing her cheek vigorously: "I thought I couldn't escape today... He just left like that?"

The cold hand poked Elsa's forehead all the time: "Can't escape? You think it's right, you can't escape."

Elsa opened her mouth wide, turned her head sideways after pauses, and smiled flatteringly at people: "Watson...why are you here..."

Watson was laughed at by Cinderella's cowardice: "You still ask me why I came here? Are you still embarrassed to ask? We let you go back to the United States, not to let you come back to die yourself. Sherlock said that you will definitely not be obedient I didn’t believe you were obedient, but you really went to die alone? How did you tell me before you left? How did you answer me on the phone? How much did you not say during the video? Ah, I don’t think it’s okay to go back to the United States alone People care about your skills, right!"

Omit the next few hundred words of preaching.

Elsa made a mistake first, so she could only listen with her head down.She has realized her mistake, but the parents don't think so, especially Watson who knows the little girl better: "Are you still not convinced?"

"No! Really not!" Elsa almost swore.

"You're just not convinced."

The door was pushed open, and Sherlock Holmes came back with great momentum.

Standing beside Elsa's hospital bed, he first raised his eyebrows, and then showed a fake smile, the kind that didn't smile on the surface, with a bit of carelessness in his words: "I'm not reconciled, I'm still immersed in the past, there is something wrong with me." Opportunity must still rush out alone, right?"

"Come on, let me take a look. I'm still too guilty now. I was ashamed to face Iron Man before we came in. It seems that he didn't just hide from us." He looked at Elsa on the hospital bed, "I finally got the confidence Nope, it looks like I learned a lesson, my left hand is broken, and my body is full of fighting injuries. Well, your learning ability is still better than that of an irrational animal. You still laugh so fake? Don’t want to hear me...Okay , to satisfy you."

He took half a step back, raised his eyebrows, and turned his eyes to the only strange boy who blinked and didn't understand what was going on: "Wow——"

"Sherlock!"

"OK." He gave up his deductive reasoning, with his hands still in his pockets, "Miss Saron, let me remind you again. After John knew what happened to you, he was worried that you would come and take a look, but I won't. You should know what you should do and what you can do. I think you understand that choosing to return to the United States is choosing to face it. I knew you would run out alone, you have mastered..."

"Sherlock—" Cinderella frowned, glanced in Peter's direction, and bit her lower lip, "Stop it, please."

Seeing this, Watson hurriedly comforted her: "Don't pay attention to him, this is not the first time you know his virtue."

Elsa forced a smile: "I know. I'm sorry, I made you worry, and I made you go for nothing."

Watson almost rolled his eyes: "He accepted a commission, and the employer asked us to come to the United States. I just came one day in advance to see you first."

"..." Elsa squinted her eyes and relaxed a little, "I have to say thank you anyway. By the way, how did you know about my injury? I, I didn't tell you."

Watson glanced at Sherlock, didn't speak, and shook his head pretending to be mysterious, but at the same time, he winked at Elsa to tell her to look at the arrogant detective.

"I know what you're talking about." He didn't even look at the two boring people, but looked at the old street scene outside the window.

It's getting dark.

"I talked to Iron Man about your matter, and he won't come to you for the time being."

Before leaving, Sherlock dropped a message at the door as if he just remembered it, and Elsa didn't know what to reply.

Can't imagine what reason Sherlock could say.

She said dryly, and suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Sherlock, I will return this card to you."

Cinderella's wound didn't hurt so much anymore, she frantically turned out the passport she had just thrown away, and handed the bank card inside to Sherlock: "I won the lottery, it should be enough for me to live Alright, I'll return this to you for now. Thank you."

Sherlock glanced at it, and went out the door indifferently: "For John, it's his card."

John was either cheated by his friends or on the way to be cheated Watson: "... Sherlock! When are you???"

He smiled at Elsa as a comfort, then turned around and rushed over to find the habitual offender who had tricked him.

Little Peter, who had just helped hand over the bank card, and the dazed Elsa looked at each other.

"Elsa," Little Peter sat on the head of her bed, propped his elbows on the bed, and held his face in his hands: "People you know... seem a little strange..."

Elsa nodded with sympathy.

In the next sentence, Peter changed the subject and turned on fanboy mode again: "Then how did you know Mr. Stark?"

Elsa: ... help.

***

On the second day after being discharged from the hospital, Elsa received a courier.

Opening the courier, there was a familiar backpack and her mobile phone inside.

As soon as she was discharged from the hospital, she bought a new one. She held back for a long time without a mobile phone, and was so moved that she almost cried when she got the new mobile phone.Now, she has two mobile phones again.

The three members of the Parker family have their own things to do, but Elsa stays at home alone because she needs to recuperate.

With one arm hanging, she rummaged through the contents of the space box, and solemnly put the old mobile phone signed by the consignor of the waybill T.S and Jarvis's phone back into the space box.

In the space box is also the electronic computer that Jarvis temporarily lived in when it was running.Elsa was really sad when she saw it.

She still didn't activate that phone because her powers hadn't come back yet.

Professor X said that she put a shackle on herself.

That action was too reckless, and the aftereffects of excessive use of abilities do exist, but the way they exist should not be like this.The only explanation is that she herself bound herself up.

Elsa has tried various methods.

But the power that seemed to be instinct in the past has never appeared again.

The chest injury is almost healed, and the stitches can be removed in the next week's review; the wrist injury is also gradually improving, and she can get rid of the plaster bandage at Christmas without any accidents; but she still has no clue about her abilities.

Elsa made a decision.

She was planning to leave for Academy X right after Christmas.And she promised Professor X that she would tell the truth to the Parker family before going to X Academy.

None of them really asked Elsa what happened back then, and that kind of tolerance made Elsa's dangling heart settle down.

Professor X didn't force her, it was what she wanted to say.

Concealment is not what holds the relationship together, trust is.

But in her vision, Elsa will use her abilities in a chic and handsome way, and then get the understanding of this warm couple, and little Peter's starry eyes are similar to him, "Sister Elsa, you are so amazing, I will not be so good from now on." I like Mr. Stark and I like you more."But empty explanations without supporting evidence are not included!

Elsa frowned.

Life goes on like this.

We don’t know whether Elsa can finally establish a tall sister in Peter, but it is clear that Elsa, a scumbag who knows X Academy and also teaches cultural courses, needs a tall brother Peter to give her Make up lessons.

Elsa: ...crying.

Looking at Elsa's messy handwriting and inexplicable answers, Peter Genius Parker felt complicated for a while.

As a member of the family, he knew that Elsa hadn't read a book before, but his understanding didn't deepen until now.

"This question..." He hesitated, "Forget it, otherwise we won't study chemistry today? Are you doing physics well?

Elsa was devastated.She threw away the pen in her hand, put her fully recovered right hand on the table, and buried her face in her arms: "Peter, tell the truth... my grades are hopeless."

Little Peter wanted to comfort poor Elsa very much, but the words he uttered made Cinderella want to cry even more.

"Yeah, that's not it. I don't do much in my classmates. Only half of the classmates scored this question."

Elsa: "...I'm not even as good as half of the elementary school students..."

Peter was at a loss: "It's okay Elsa, I, I'm not good at sports either, you grew up in the forest, at least your sports performance will be very good!"

"Peter," Elsa looked up, fluttering her big clear amber eyes, "you really can't comfort people."

"Ah... huh?" His eyes widened.

Elsa chuckled loudly.

With her difficult make-up lessons, her grades were finally barely enough to graduate from elementary school, and her graduation from middle school was nowhere in sight.

Time has entered the tail of December.

Elsa had removed the plaster, and this time she could finally remove the bandages.

Cinderella seemed very excited all day long, and she used her quiet time to tell Ben and May that she had learned her lesson now, would not run around, and won the opportunity to go to the hospital by herself without their company.

Mutants are physically stronger than ordinary humans.Elsa is recovering very well.She turned her wrist slightly, and the smile on her face made the young doctor laugh too: "It's okay. Remember what I told you. If it doesn't work, go to the Internet to search for precautions, have a good rest, and don't get hurt again. OK."

Elsa nodded excitedly, not wanting to hide her happiness at all: "I will! This is really uncomfortable, and I will really be careful in the future."

She decided to treat herself to something delicious.

Elsa, who started to surf the Internet again, has added many stores to her food plan.Some have been, but most are still on the list.

Finally got a chance to go out for lunch today.

She rummaged through her phone and decided to eat Indian curry.

After a period of time after she was discharged from the hospital, she had disclosed the lottery to the three members of Parker's family and sent three gifts along the way.I also accepted the suggestion to use part of the money for investment and financial management.

This amount of money is just a drop in the bucket for entrepreneurs, but it is not a small sum for ordinary families.

But they didn't say anything, they didn't even think about it.

If it weren't for Elsa insisting on buying things from time to time to subsidize the family, Ben and May couldn't beat her, and they wouldn't even be willing to pay Elsa for this little money.

Mei also specifically told her that since foster care is subsidized, she doesn't have to think so much at all.

Elsa didn't think too much, she was just willing to spend money for them. For example, she came to this store for another purpose. The shopping mall opposite had the electronic watch that Peter had seen last time.Elsa decided to give little Peter a gift, just the watch.

Elsa, who was dressed thickly, thought happily.

By the way, all the gifts she prepared for Bucky were placed in the space box alone, and I don't know when that guy will be good and come home with her.

She hiccupped and stood in the elevator, her thoughts diverging.

Speaking of which... the injury is healed, it's time for her to resume exercising... I don't want to find that when I train again one day, I will find that my belly can hold a lump of flesh.

Cinderella pinched her belly subconsciously, showing a frightened expression.

So in the end, she gave up taking the elevator and walked to the electronic watch store step by step.

Elsa has no ability to cheat, she knows nothing about these electronic watches.

She listened to the hype of praise from the saleswoman, but was surprised to find that the two people who had just passed the corner were people she had seen before—and suddenly guessed what they might do when they went to that corner.

Elsa's memory of people is really not very good, but she was deeply impressed by the trouble that the middle-aged bald man caused her in the lottery, and she can still regain some memory after this time.

Once he thought of this man, it was easy to recall the tall woman beside him.

...Hey, I thought of that hot eye video again.

The little girl subconsciously made a disgusted expression, which made the salesperson startled: "What's wrong? Customer, do you have any other needs?"

"No, no, it's not about you," Elsa shook her head, pointing to the one that sounded good just now, "wrap it up for me."

The salesperson's smile became even sweeter: "Okay, wait a moment."

Elsa nodded, and leaned against the wall not very concerned.

The sky is still very bright, so it's time to think about what to have for dinner...Peter may want to eat seafood pizza...

Elsa's thoughts diverged quickly.

In the next second, a terrified scream erupted.

Elsa's hearing is still very good.She immediately realized the source of the scream.But just as she stood up straight and ran to the door, a bloody figure ran past her quickly, screaming continuously.

It's that woman.

The mall is boiling.

Elsaton was in place.

Trembling, she hugged herself and slowly squatted down.

Blood... a lot of blood... human blood...

In an instant, the whole world went blank.

She has tried so many times, but she still doesn't know what is restricting her ability.At this moment, she finally understood.

Cinderella hugged her arms tightly, as if trying to shrink herself up.She buried her head in her arms, and the pupils of her widened eyes narrowed sharply.

Blood……

Memories of being left behind scrolled in my mind.

There is the father, there are the two younger brothers; there is old Kent, there is the proprietress, and those hydras.

She understands the meaning of death.

After the explosion, the blood and flesh splattered, and the bloody and terrifying picture of being shot accurately between the eyebrows flashed in my mind again. Elsa trembled, her eyes widened in fear, and there was a tearing pain at the end of her eyes. Tears uncontrollably wet her sleeves.

Two months passed before she realized it.

In an instant, a strong sense of vomiting occurred, and Elsa stood up abruptly, covered her mouth and rushed to the bathroom where she had just seen.

There was the sound of the crowd boiling and noisy, but Elsa didn't seem to be able to hear it.

She got into a stall and vomited everything she had eaten into the toilet.

The nausea was still boiling, and another inexplicable feeling gripped her heart fiercely.

In just a few seconds, Elsa was covered in cold sweat, and the red star hair rope was already wet with sudden sweat, and a few strands of hair stuck to her cheeks, making her look pale and fragile.She struggled to support the wall of the cubicle, panting heavily, and vomited again from time to time.

The body is too weak.

Knowing that she couldn't vomit anymore, Elsa supported the wall and slowly walked out of the cubicle.

She put her hands on the sink, took a basin of water, buried her face in the cold water, and didn't raise her head to breathe until her lungs felt like they were about to explode.

She heard someone talking about gathering, the mall was blocked, let's go to the third floor together.

Elsa didn't even know if she thanked the kind lady.She just pressed her throbbing stomach, and staggered along with the crowd.

It was just at noon, and there were quite a few people in the mall.

Elsa found a corner and squatted down, her forehead was soaked, and she looked a little panicked.Fortunately, there are not a few people like her here.

She refused the helping hand offered by another gentleman, but squatted quietly in the corner.

The convulsions in the stomach gradually subsided, and the burning pain in the throat gradually dissipated.

She finally regained some sanity and carefully recalled what happened today.There were still people whispering the rumors they had heard, and Elsa listened silently.

It was the woman who ran out covered in blood just now, the woman who was following the bald man.

She didn't want to imagine how that man died, but the blood that poured down on that woman's head and face was enough to explain everything.

"Ding-dong-"

Elsa stood up and leaned against the wall.

Her hands were trembling a little, and she finally took out her mobile phone from the pocket of her thick clothes.

There is only one text message on the phone.

"Little princess~ My gift has been delivered~ Please check it~"
