"...Don't worry about these things." Zhong Zixing had a hard time saying this.

She pressed send, and without waiting for Iris to reply, she put away her phone tiredly, wondering why life is so interesting.

Because the professor was busy, there was no class on Friday afternoon, and Zhong Zixing was on his way home when he received the news, with a plastic bag in his left hand, a Coke in his right hand, and the ice cubes rattled when they were touched by a straw.

She turned into an alley familiarly, and cut a hole in the wall while no one was looking, carefully drilled through it, turned around and blocked the hole, and took a shortcut all the way home.

When approaching the door of the apartment, Zhong Zixing saw two people from a distance standing by the main door of the apartment, one on the left and one on the right. Both of them were wearing cool black jackets and leather pants.

Zhong Zixing held the Coke cup, feeling a little dazed.

She waited and watched for a few seconds, confirmed their identities, and then casually threw the paper cups into the trash can and moved over in small steps.

"Why are you here?"

Zhong Zixing looked at Pietro, who was squatting on the ground, licking ice cream, and then at Wanda, who was casually poking her phone with her fingernails up. The surprise gradually cooled down, and joy filled her eyes, softening the curvature of the corners of her lips.

They haven’t seen each other for a while—the brother and sister skipped class and went on a trip. After the trip, they were naturally caught by the professor to make up lessons. It was said that there was a quiz a few days ago. After the quiz, the two disappeared on T2.0 , do not know where to lie dead.

Wanda curled her lips and turned off the phone screen: "You showed up too late last time, and then you suddenly went back to New York by yourself. We hardly played together for long."

Pietro's answer is simpler.

"I came to play with you after the exam. Let's go, where are you going?"

Zhong Zixing wondered if they had been in school for too long. After all, Xavier College is not close to the city, but it seems that it is not a troublesome thing to sneak out with the ability of Kuaiyin?

"Have you had lunch?" Zhong Zixing asked after thinking about it.

The two shook their heads in unison.

"...All right, come home with me first."

Zhong Zixing wondered if the ingredients he had bought were enough, and at the same time beckoned the two pitiful people who were guarding the door to follow him upstairs.She originally wanted to drop by to see if the little spider was out of school, but after thinking about it, she had to painfully admit that this behavior was a bit stupid, so she turned around and went straight home.

Kuaiyin jumped up quickly, followed behind Zhong Zixing, and asked, "Can you cook? Can you eat?"

Wanda: "...Pietro."

The boy immediately apologized obediently, and blinked: "Okay, I was wrong. But can you really eat it?"

Zhong Zixing 囧: "...the Thai restaurant downstairs can take out, why don't you go down and buy a copy first?"

She never mentioned how well she cooks, right?What did he think up?

Under Wanda's silent threat, the three finally arrived safely in front of Zhong Zixing's house.

Zhong Zixing glanced at the next door before opening the door. The big detective didn't seem to be at home. After thinking about it, she gave up the idea of ​​asking if the other party had lunch. After opening the door, she went straight to the cooking table, put down the plastic bag, and turned on the faucet to wash her hands: " You sit down first, there is no password for the computer." The tablet was taken away by Sith.

Pietro bent down and leaned in front of the computer, swiped his fingers on the touch screen a few times, and groaned: "There are no games. The Elder Scrolls... The Long Night... Are you still playing Assassin's Creed?" The tone was full of superiority.

...Do you look down on handicap?

Zhong Zixing washed a few potatoes holding his breath, and knocked on the potatoes with his palm, and the potatoes were immediately broken into large and small standard mosaic pieces.The part stained with skin was swept out, and the remaining small cubes jumped into the cooking bowl one after another. Zhong Zixing was busy working around, but he didn't hear any movement behind him, so he couldn't help turning his head to look.

The boys and girls were lying in front of the computer and concentrating on it, the keyboard was crackling, and the reflection of the pupils reflected the light and shadow of the screen. If you didn't look carefully, you might think you fell into a star.

Zhong Zixing: ... You talked about disgusting, didn't you also start playing!I can see that she wants to play!

Having said that, Zhong Zixing still responsibly cooked the curry first, and then left a mess and ran over to watch them play games.

Pietro and Wanda were so engrossed in playing the game that they didn't even notice that there was an extra onlooker behind them.

Assassin's Creed was playing on the screen. Although Ubisoft has always bought bugs to give away games, Zhong Zixing still couldn't deny that the second generation is a classic, so that after clearing the obsessive-compulsive disorder, she left it on the desktop without uninstalling it...

Pietro was wandering around the base of the Templar Knights, his back was slightly arched, his eyes were staring at the screen without blinking, his fingers on the keyboard were flying like flying, almost only afterimages could be seen.

Zhong Zixing looked at Uncle E's graceful posture on the screen with resentment, thinking that she had passed that fixed angle of view thirteen times before she passed it.

After a few minutes, Pietro opened up the base. He stopped the character at the lookout point, pushed the computer, and stretched his waist: "This is not fun, do you have anything else?"

Zhong Zixing watched him leave eagerly, then turned to look at him quietly when he heard the words, and said, "Mine sweeping."

Wanda raised her eyebrows and turned her head to suppress a smile.

After trying the game over and over, the aroma of curry wafted from the pot, and the three of them closed their computers, sat down at the table and waited for dinner.

Curry is basically unlikely to have a strange taste, anyway, Zhong Zixing can't tell the difference.Wanda took the lead in trying the poison, held up a ladle to scoop up half a spoonful of soup, dipped his lips and nodded to Zhong Zixing, and Zhong Zixing was relieved.

"What are your plans for the afternoon?" Zhong Zixing asked casually while pouring the curry.

In the afternoon, she had planned to take the little spider to the east of Queens to take a look. There was a place that she was very concerned about when she was exploring before, and she couldn't feel relieved if she didn't inspect it.

Kuaiyin found a bag of cocoa sticks from nowhere, leaned on the chair, bit the cocoa stick and said vaguely, "Anyway, I don't watch movies."

Wanda took one from him casually, propped her chin up and clicked, her cheeks were so bulging that people wanted to poke her: "Are there any haunted places in New York?"

Zhong Zixing: "...are you addicted to playing demons last time?" She still remembers the demon that the exorcist brothers missed. School pet for a long time.

It's just... Those who hear it are sad and those who see it cry.

"Try to see if I can take another one back to play. Last time when the professor patrolled the night with his mind, he found that it couldn't bear the strength and was wiped out. Scott didn't even have time to try how much damage his sight could do to the demon." Wanda graciously admitted her purpose, and sighed a lot when she mentioned the previous demon.

Zhong Zi Xingxin said that you really know how to play.

The two of them sat together in the chair without sitting, and they didn't feel any tension at all. Adding Sith, they were probably a trio of salted fish, and they could be cooked with some chili.

Although she was almost as depressed before inexplicably starting to repair the earth...

Zhong Zixing secretly condemned himself for his inactive mentality.

She bit the spoon, her eyes lingered between the twins, she thought for a while, and suddenly clapped her hands: "Then you will come with me this afternoon?"

Wanda put down the spoon, full of curiosity on her face: "Are you going to a haunted place?"

"Hmm...almost," Zhong Zixing freed his hand to open the phone map, swipe the screen a few times, and pushed the phone over, "Because the scope of the second phase is Queens, I plan to scan it in advance, but there is a place when I search for it consciously. I can't get in... It seems that there is something blocking the prying, so I'm afraid I have to investigate it on the spot."

Because once she strengthens the building, there is no possibility of demolition and modification. The requirement on the drawings is that she only needs to reinforce the central axis of the wall, that is, the parts of the skeleton of the house that cannot be changed. One by one, it is obviously unreliable to look at each box. Zhong Zixing tends to repair some parts while on-the-spot investigation, and breaks down the work into simpler steps.

"..." Kuaiyin blinked and raised his hand, "One question, what is the second phase?"

Zhong Zixing: "?"

She moved her eyes slowly to Wanda, and found the same confusion on her face.

Zhong Zixing had a bad feeling.

"The second phase is...the second phase of Theia Project." She said weakly.

Wanda dropped the spoon.

"The person in charge of the Theia project," she swallowed the curry, staring at Zhong Zixing cautiously, as if she could see the flowers on her face, "isn't it an 'architect'?"

Zhong Zixing: "..."

Zhong Zixing was confused: "Didn't I say that the architect is me?"

Kuaiyin stood up suddenly: "Are you an architect?"

Zhong Zixing: "???"

Wanda & Pietro: "???"

The three of them stared wide-eyed, feeling as if they missed something.

After a while, Zhong Zixing's voice was dry: "...Anyway, should we go? There must be something there."

After tidying up the dishes, Wanda escorted Pietro to wash the dishes.

"You are faster, go and go."

"Can you still telepathically move things?" Pietro complained.

Zhong Zixing raised his hand: "You guys let me wash when I come back..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she was yelled back in unison.

...Actually, there is a dishwasher.Zhong Zixing thought silently.

Four hands were thumping in the sink, layers of water waves slapped against the wall of the sink, and there were so many bubbles in the sink that it was about to overflow.

The two had a great time.

Taking advantage of the time to clean up, Zhong Zixing poked the little spider on T2.0, sadly told him about the omission he had just realized, and finally sent a voice hesitantly: "So have we... told them our secret? identity?"

After a while, Little Spider's more hesitant voice sounded.

"...I don't remember, do you remember?"

"..."

Zhong Zixing and the phone screen looked at each other, feeling very panic.

This kind of thing can be forgotten, is her memory good?

Considering that she hasn't watched popcorn movies recently, so... Sure enough, love lowers IQ, right?

With such confusion, Zhong Zixing packed his equipment, carried his backpack, and greeted Pietro and Wanda to go on the road.

"Do you really not need me to take you there?" Kuaiyin persisted in asking until the last moment.

Seeing his high spirits, Zhong Zixing murmured in his heart, and resolutely refused: "Trust me, it will break."

The boy immediately showed a regretful expression.

Letting a mutant who can supersonic speed casually walk slowly to the destination with him... Zhong Zixing felt cruel even thinking about it.

My own existence is completely a hindrance, the kind that clings to other people's thighs and begs for nothing to lie on the ground without moving.

Zhong Zixing was feeling guilty when he suddenly heard Kuaiyin's cheerful voice: "Okay, unfortunately, you can only take a leisurely look at the scenery of Queens."

……you?

Zhong Zixing turned his eyes to Pietro full of doubts, saw him raise his mobile phone and turned around, then lowered his head to the mobile phone and continued: "First of all, let me introduce the members of this great expedition—"

Zhong Zixing: "..."

Sensing Zhong Zixing's gaze, Wanda shrugged her shoulders without any surprise, and explained: "Ilvermorny's exchange students came to Xavier a few days ago, and we pulled them into T2.0."

"Pietro agreed to broadcast the live broadcast of the adventure in the common discussion group of Ilvermorny and Xavier." She concluded, paused, and smiled mischievously at Zhong Zixing, "So do you want to wear a scarf?"

Zhong Zixing: "...Thank you."

Looking at Kuaiyin who was enjoying the narration, Zhong Zixing's expression was particularly gloomy.

I sincerely hope that Kuaiyin kids will never be able to clear any games.
