"Vigilante is not necessary, or at least not in most cases." She said: "Suppose you go back to some 'past', see a person is going to be killed, you can save him, or her, you are saving, Or remain a bystander?"

Peter hesitated, "Help!"

"Well, now you saved a man, man, but maybe he will kill your ancestors in a few years, your grandfather's grandfather, and then you will be gone."

"Isn't this the 'grandfather paradox'?"

"Yes. Or you save a woman, and then this woman meets your grandfather's grandfather, replaces your grandfather's grandmother, and then there is no you."

"This is still the 'grandfather paradox'. I understand. You mean that everyone has his own life history, and changes cannot be imposed by external forces. However, just like the development of modern medicine, many intractable diseases are now There is a cure, and many, many people who should have died long ago are now alive, and this is- is this different from what I do? Except I am active. Isn’t it good to be active? I don’t like it Passive waiting, I like to be proactive."

"Boys," Alicia sighed, "you're so much alike, I mean you and Tony, you always think 'I can do this,' but the truth is, you can't do everything."

Peter lowered his head, "However, every life has a need to exist. You can't say whose life is more valuable and whose life is worth less—well, except for villains. But I—"

"You want the initiative? Or the right to choose? Then how do you judge whether it is more important to be with me or to save a stranger?"

Peter froze, unable to answer.

"The problem with Tony and Pepper is the same. Tony can't separate himself from the identity of 'Iron Man'. Pepper is just a mortal. She can't bear to worry about her own safety all day long, and even more worried about Tony's safety."

Peter said in a low voice, "But you are not a mortal, you are a mutant."

Alicia stared, "What did you say?"

Immediately changed, "I will not make Mr. Stark's mistake."

Alicia was quite satisfied with this answer.

She no longer blocked the police frequency that Peter could hear.

Peter was a little restless.

She won't say "Go, Tiger". It's also very interesting to give him the right to choose. You can see what he will choose: a girlfriend or a stranger; love or a sense of justice.

Most of Vigilante are extreme manifestations of altruism, and there are subtle differences depending on the temperament of each person. For example, Tony is the arrogance and pride of "I will do what I want", and Steve Rogers is "sacrificing my happiness for thousands of people". ", Steve Strange is the self-confidence of "I am destined to save the world".

What about Peter Parker?It is the righteous boy who has kindness in the world, but he has not considered that the end of fighting crime 24 hours a day may be exhausting himself to death.

Mutants don't have this problem. They don't want to do vigilante because ordinary people don't like them at all, so they can only keep a low profile.

As a result, this evening, Peter took Alicia to fight crime as the keynote.

Alicia also wanted to marvel at how Peter could figure out how to let her watch him from a nearby rooftop to solve a case of "street hooligans committing crimes against women".

By the time he finished dealing with the hooligans, the victim had already run away.

He looked at the back of the man running away with a little depression, sighed, shot out spider webs, and flew to the top of the building.

Alicia was sitting on the edge of the roof, and he sat beside her silently.She slipped him an ice cream and kissed him on the cheek to show encouragement.

"I bought an apartment on the Upper East Side, are you going to check it out?" she asked suddenly after a while.

"Huh?" Peter was taken aback.

"My own house. I live in either Tony's house or Stephen's house in New York. I should have my own house."

Peter never really thought about her financial problems, "Your house? I thought—wait, you seemed to say you didn't have parents, I never asked what that meant. You mean your parents also... died, eh?"

"Probably. Just think of me as inheriting a large inheritance." As she spoke, she pushed Peter down the stairs violently.

Peter dropped on the solid wood floor.

He was terrified by Alicia's sudden push of him down the stairs, but before he could shoot the web, he saw a circle of sparks erupting below him, through which he fell to the floor.

He jumped up quickly, "Ellie!"

Alicia followed through the circle and fell hard on top of him, pinning him to the floor.

She laughed, "Is it fun?"

He had no choice but to say, "It's fun—it scared me to death!" He rolled her around on the floor a few times and pressed her under him, "You are too naughty. Tell me, how do you punish you?"

"Just—what do you think? What do you want—" she said softly.

Her chest was pressed against his chest, and her chest was soft. He blushed, let her go, propped his palms on the floor, and raised his upper body.

"Are you shy?" she asked quietly.

His face became even redder, "No, no." Yi Gulu stood up, "This is your apartment?"

The place where they are should be the living room, empty and empty.

Alicia also stood up, "I haven't had time to buy any furniture. I just got someone to clean it after the decoration. Tomorrow the designer will bring someone to arrange the furniture."

The apartment is huge, more than three times bigger than Parker's house, very luxurious and grand, with two bedrooms, three bathrooms, two living rooms, a kitchen and a study.The two ran around and checked all the rooms.

"Will you live here often in the future?"

"Maybe. Stephen is the guardian mage of the temple, he must live in the temple, I don't need it."

"The temple?" Peter asked strangely.

"Don't you know?" She suddenly said, "I don't seem to have told you. Dr. Strange is the Sorcerer of the Magic Temple, or it can be said to be a Wizard, and the king is also a sorcerer. You can also call them 'Magician' , when I pass the exam, I will also be a Magician, or you can say a Witch."

Peter was confused, "What? Wizard? Witch? Magician? Wait! Is this still the 21st century?!" Doesn't this match the education he received from childhood!Mutants, well understood, are the future of human evolution with genetic changes; what the hell is a magician? !Also, isn't she a mutant?

Alicia glanced at him: "Is this difficult to understand? Magic is actually a scientific phenomenon that modern science cannot explain. For example, alchemy in the narrow sense is actually electrolytic gold plating technology, and alchemy in the broad sense is chemistry."

"I thought you were a mutant—"

"Ah! So you always thought that my sudden appearance in your room was my superpower?"

"Really?" Peter asked confused.

"No. Watch it." She slowly floated up, her feet lifted off the ground, and floated in the air, "This is my mutant's superpower, controlling the earth's magnetic field, which is very similar to Eric Lanshere's ability ...and I can manipulate metal, like, your belt."

Peter's metal belt buckle undid, and the entire canvas belt came out, floating in the air.

She fell down, grabbed the canvas belt casually, and returned it to him. "Now, this is my magic."

The left hand stretches out, the right draws a circle, and a bright spark-spraying circle appears, with the outer edge of Central Park at the other end.

"Wow!" Peter exclaimed.

"This is called 'multi-dimensional space channel', look, more 21st century!"

Peter laughed, "That said, it's really modern." He pondered for a while, Alicia seemed to be very mysterious, and being a mutant was interesting enough, and she could even do magic!Thinking about it all feels-hi!Where are you going to find such an interesting girl again?

The evening sun was warm and slanted in front of the window.

Face to face, hug each other.

She was nearly as tall as he was now, and could kiss his lips without tiptoeing.

Forehead touching forehead, tip of nose rubbing tip of nose, gentle breath blowing on her cheek, boy's breath.He is still wearing a spider suit, which has its own sweat-absorbing function, but it still smells a little sweaty, not very heavy.

"Do you want to change clothes?"

"Uh...wait a minute, I took off the battle suit." He was a little embarrassed, and patted the spider pattern on his chest, and the battle suit changed from close-fitting to loose.He took off his suit and carefully stuffed it into his schoolbag. "I, uh, I'm going to use the bathroom." Now that the decoration is complete, the bathroom must be usable.

He was a little inexplicably nervous. He straightened his somewhat messy hair in front of the mirror in the bathroom and smelled himself.Since he and Alicia started dating, May has taught him almost all the dos and don'ts of dating.

Dating Alicia was easier than he thought, she's a sweet girl, good-natured, gentle most of the time; has a sweet tooth, take her for pizza or something, put her on the rooftop I don't mind either - if it were a mortal girl, she would probably be scared to death.So the mutant is really good, at least he can understand his "career", he won't be scared, and he will even become his partner when necessary.

Alicia showed him her strength today, and he was indeed surprised.He just knew she was a mutant before, and he never asked her what abilities she has, mutant magician, wow! Awesome!

He couldn't help thinking: Mr. Stark is wrong, superhero's girlfriend must be the same kind of person, it is difficult for ordinary humans to accept, and it is impossible to advance and retreat with superhero.

He vaguely felt that he had discovered some great truth, but he still hadn't figured out what it was.

Stephen Strange brought an email, "It's from the DMV, it looks like it's your driver's license."

"Thank you." Alicia took the envelope, opened it, and checked the driver's license belonging to "Alicia Heath".

"Are you busy these days? You always go out."

"I bought an apartment on the Upper East Side and I'm putting furniture out these days."

"Apartment? Are you going to move out?" Strange was a little surprised. "Isn't the temple bad?"

"The temple is nice, but I guess I should have a little privacy."

Strange lowered his head and smiled, "Indeed." She is the only girl in the New York Temple. It is not inconvenient to say that it is inconvenient, but there are no secrets in the Temple, and she is a person with too many secrets, which is not very good after all. .

Perhaps it was because he wanted to have a more private space with Peter.

But she didn't care too much, she would come over whenever she opened the portal, and she didn't have to live in the temple.

"Starting tomorrow, learn "The Book of Cagliostro" with me."

She nodded.

Peter was doing good deeds in the community again. When he got home and received the email, he immediately called her: "Ellie, have you received the email from the DMV?"

"Do you have a driver's license? Got it."

"Great! Mei said a few days ago that she could buy me a second-hand car. I haven't had time to go to the dealership to look at the car. I'll go now. Let's go look at the car together, shall we?"

"Do you need a car?" Alicia felt amused, "Can't you fly with spider silk?"

"Ah—in theory, but if I go to pick you up, I can't do without a car."

This is true, at least it should give Mei a feeling that "my silly nephew is quite normal".

"First look at the car dealership on the Internet, and I will take you there directly. I don't want you to spend all your time in the subway." The magician is so proud.

Peter happily agreed.

But he didn't expect Ned to come, just in time to bump into Alicia coming through the multi-dimensional space channel.

Ned opened his mouth wide and looked dull.

Peter collapsed and covered his face, "Ellie—"

Ned made an unintelligible sound: "Ah-ah-ah-"

Peter quickly covered his mouth, "Don't scare Ellie!"

Ned pulled his hand away angrily, "I'm the one who was scared! Wow! Alicia, what is this?" He pointed to the firelight of the portal curiously and excitedly.

With a wave of Alicia's hand, the portal disappeared.

"I'm a mutant."

Ned looked suddenly enlightened, "Oh—no, wait! Then how do you know Peter? Hey! Peter, how do you know her? That'sawesome!"

Excitedly asking non-stop: "Does Mei know this? Do you know this?"

"No, you can't let May know. No, May knows that she is a mutant, but she doesn't know what her abilities are. Yes, I already knew."

"Awesome! Peter, you have a mutant girlfriend."

Alicia pretended to cough, "Ned."

"exist!"

"Shut up!"

Ned quickly covered his mouth.But after a while, he couldn't help it again, "No wonder Peter doesn't look at Liz and Kelly anymore. If you want me to say, we should go to Liz's house party on weekend nights, that flash keeps saying that you are not Peter's girlfriend, I think, if you hadn't been at school that day, he'd have said you were Peter's imaginary girlfriend. That's funny, isn't it?"

"Is there a party this weekend?"

"Yes, you go with Peter, so I can go too."

"Peter, do you want to go to the party?"

Peter was shy, "Do you want to go to the party? Do you often attend Mr. Stark's party—" She went to Mr. Stark's birthday party and held hands with Mr. Stark at the party, That's definitely not the normal attitude to treat an ex-girlfriend's cousin.If Alicia wasn't too young, he would really be a little worried.

"Tony's parties are full of boring adults, no fun, I've never been to a party of young people your age. Are parties fun?"

Ned thought her wording was a bit strange, but didn't think much of it, "You can drink - no, alcoholic beverages, and the girls! The important thing is that there is no girl in the entire Midtown Technical High School who is more beautiful than you , the cheerleading girls would be pissed off! They used to laugh at Peter."

"Laughing at both of us. They all laughed, don't take it too seriously." Peter didn't care much about it.

"Are you optimistic about the car dealership? Are you going to see the car now?"

"I just made a call and the dealership said they can come and see the car now."

"Let's go, I'm driving."

When I got downstairs to the apartment, I took out a toy car from my small bag and put it on the roadside. Then I gave Peter a button switch and signaled him to press it.This is the second time for Peter to see this black technology. He is super excited. Press the button, and the toy car instantly becomes bigger. It is still the eye-catching lemon yellow Maserati.

"Whoa oh oh oh—" Ned yelled again, "What is this? Is it your superpower too?"

"Can you keep your voice down?" Peter covered his mouth again: Mutants are still the existence that most ordinary humans are discolored by, and Nerds like Ned think mutants are cool.

"No, this is not for sale from Pym Technology. I met Dr. Pym at a banquet and he gave me a set of miniature equipment." Alicia sat in the driver's seat.

Peter sat in the passenger seat and Ned in the back.

"Pym Technology? I heard that Dr. Pym doesn't like Mr. Stark very much. Besides, isn't Pym Technology a competitor with Stark Industries?" Ned is also a gossip expert.

"It's true that they are competitors. Similar companies are more or less competitive, and there are very few completely staggered ones. However, I am not Stark."

Driving a luxury car worth hundreds of thousands to a second-hand car dealership must be a no-brainer.Peter’s budget for buying a car is about 3000 US dollars, which is not too expensive for a second-hand car. He can’t buy any good cars. The advantage of being a teenager is that he can completely ignore his girlfriend driving a luxury car, happily ask her opinion, and finally I took a fancy to a Toyota at the beginning, and it cost just 3000 US dollars, and it can be controlled within 3500 US dollars after completing the procedures.

Ned also provided some help. After reading the car condition report provided by the car dealer, there are quite a lot of details that need to be known when buying a second-hand car.

The next day, as agreed, Dr. Strange began to teach Alicia "The Book of Cagliostro".

"This is the personal collection of Mage Gu Yi. After she passed away, this book is now my personal collection, but the mage and his disciples can borrow it as long as they think they can learn it."

He sat at the table, and Alicia sat across from them, and on the table between them lay a large manuscript bound in metal and leather.

Reach out and open, the first page.

""The Book of Cagliostro" tells about time, and Dormammu, the king of the dark dimension. According to legend, Dormammu was also a human mage at the earliest. He wanted to gain more power and used black magic. In the end, he achieved his goal and discovered that there are not only three dimensions in the universe, nor the four dimensions of time, but more dimensions. He used the power of darkness unscrupulously, which is not only It's magic, but a deeper cosmic law."

"At the beginning of the universe, there was chaos, and there was nothing; but there was darkness first, and then light." She replied.

"Yes, darkness is a more powerful force, but darkness can turn people into shadows, dig out the most secret side of people's hearts, and destroy you. Ancient One—" He frowned, "I didn't tell you before As for Mage Ancient One, the power of Mage Ancient One also comes from the dark dimension, and her lifespan is thousands of years, which is unnatural and very dangerous."

"Do you think I am also from the dark dimension?" The unnatural longevity must have something to do with it.

He smiled, "You are not. You definitely don't have any power of the dark dimension in you, so I have always been very curious about your true origin. Now, before studying this book, let me take you into another world that you have never experienced before." cosmic level." He stood up and gestured for Alicia to stand in front of him.

Alicia stood at the place he designated.

"Kama Taj has always taught you to believe in yourself, talking about 'epiphany', and of course 'spirituality'." Strange slowly stretched out his right palm, and patted her chest very lightly and very heavily.

She only felt as if her soul had left her body, curious, a little panicked, but also excited - she clearly saw that she was still standing in front of Strange.

In the next second, the soul flies away.

This feeling is actually hard to describe in words: you hear the whole world, hear the whole universe, and countless voices are rushing towards you, but you are obviously just a "spiritual body" and you don't have a real body; you feel the whole world The world, the whole universe, the sound of flowers blooming petals, the sound of hummingbirds flapping their wings, the phosphorous powder sprinkled by butterflies shaking their wings, the breeze blowing through the skin, and the drizzle slapping on the face; you are a woman; you are a man; you Holding a newborn baby, you are full of the pride and happiness of being a mother; you and your lover are in great harmony in life, and the pleasure sweeps your body; you are a toddler, you are an old man with sparse teeth; you Nebulae, stars, little rocks scattered in the infinite universe;

You are everything, you are everything, and you are nothing.

You are so small.

You are so important.

"Ooh!" she said dazedly.

After a while, she said "ohhh" again.

She said uncertainly: "That'sawesome! What's this called?"

"Astral projection."

astral projection.

The author has something to say: *astralprojection, also known as astral projection, is called "astral body" in Tibetan Buddhist Tantric Buddhism, and "the soul goes out of the body" in Chinese.That is to say, Gu Yi slapped Strange's soul into the universe and flew back. This is also mentioned in "Legion".

*I don't know how many words I can write.Originally, I planned to write 120 million characters, but the clip taught me how to be a human being, and now it is hard to say how long I will write.
