After sending the mail, Heather and John walked on the street.
It was not yet nine o'clock, there were many people walking on the street, and it was not that dangerous for two high school students to walk together.
"So, your serial novel is really that profitable?"
John was very curious. In the years before Heather came, his mother almost praised this distant cousin to the heavens, saying that Heather was the reincarnation of Tolstoy, or Leonardo da Vinci who turned to writing.
More importantly, Heather can obtain abundant money through royalties that ordinary high school students cannot obtain on their own. This makes John, who has always had a tight pocket, very envious.
"It's alright, at least it's okay to pay for the accommodation." Heather shrugged.
"Accommodation fee? Wait... will dad charge you for accommodation fee?"
John had a shocked expression on his face, and he immediately guessed that Marty was collecting accommodation fees from Heather without telling Susan.
"Susan doesn't know about this, don't tell her. And there is a place where you can eat Susan's ham tart and tomato and meatball pasta. I think $400 is not a bad deal."
Heather really didn't care about this matter. If he really cared about money, he would have sold or rented out his old house in Connecticut.
"4,400 yuan? Every month?" John held his head in his hands: "How could dad do this..."
Although they each have their own problems, Claire and John are not bad in nature, and it can even be said that most of them follow Aunt Susan. This incident further worsened the image of father Marty in John's heart.
"Don't worry, the royalties are more than enough. If you want some snacks, I can treat you."
Heather pointed to the convenience store not far away. He was indifferent to others but still quite good to his family and friends.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the distance, as well as footsteps and screams.
The two curiously went to the corner of the street and found that a four-story building on the next street was belching smoke and fire. The street downstairs was filled with onlookers and disgraced residents.
One of the couples, covered in soot, was crying: "Our little daughter is still on the second floor! Please call the fire department!"
The man wanted to rush into the fire, but was stopped by the people around him. If he rushed in in the face of such a fire, he would most likely lose his life.
"It will take at least ten minutes for the firefighters to arrive. It's too late." People kept trying to persuade the couple. The couple seemed to know the fate of their five-year-old daughter and burst into tears.
The fire in the small building became more and more fierce, making crackling and cracking sounds.
Heather stood not far away, frowning.
Are you going to sit back and watch that child burn to death?
There was a voice in the bottom of my heart admonishing Heather that even if she broke in alone and had no strength, she would not be able to save anyone, and she would probably lose her life.
Another voice immediately retorted, saying that he had been to this building before and knew the structure of the building well. As long as he seizes the time, he can save the child.
To save or not to save?
"Oh my God, I can't stand this tragedy."
John murmured:
"Heather, let's leave quickly...eh? Where is the person?"
Before the crowd of onlookers could react, they only saw a figure rushing into the fire scene.
John was so frightened that he went out with his cousin to send mail, and then went home alone. When his mother asked, "Where is your cousin?" How could he say, "Oh, my cousin passed by the fire scene and rushed in by himself and burned to death."
'?
If that happened, John, who didn't stop his cousin in time, would probably feel guilty and regretful for the rest of his life.
At the same time, Gu Yi, who was meditating in a quiet room, suddenly opened his eyes and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
She could 'see' those golden eyes outside the infinite multiverse emitting a terrifying light, just like a person who was overlooking the ant nest and suddenly leaned down to try to see more carefully.
What happened to the earth again? How come I, the Supreme Mage who guards the earth, don’t even know what major events are happening on the earth?
Not only Ancient One, but Odin who was sitting high on the divine throne also stood up from the divine throne with a sudden inspiration.
Isn't the atrium the territory of the Supreme Mage? Why did something happen again?
And it must be no small matter, it can actually attract the gaze from outside the infinite multiverse.
But no matter how Ancient One and Odin used their abilities to search for possible major events on the earth, they found nothing. Nothing consistent with a 'big event' happened.
In the end what happened?
……………………
The surrounding scenery was rapidly inverted, and a graceful figure quickly shuttled between the high-rise buildings in New York City.
This is a figure wearing a white and black tights and a hood. Spider silk is continuously emitted from a small device at her wrist, driving her to swing forward quickly.
She is [Ghost Spider], a newly famous street hero in New York City, and a classmate of Heather and Peter - Gwen Stacy.
The story of how Gwen obtained this ability is a long story. To summarize, she was accidentally bitten by a mutant spider, and as a result, she mutated into a powerful ability.
Gwen didn't know what ordinary people would do after gaining superpowers. But she felt that she should use this skill to assist a good police officer like her father and do something for New York City.
Perhaps she was a little selfish at first and wanted to use her identity as the Masked Heroine to gain attention. But after this period of training, Gwen has strengthened her belief and is determined to become the protector of the city.
.
Of course, you cannot let others know the true identity of the ghost spider. Otherwise, your relatives and friends are likely to be retaliated by criminals.
Just now, she chased through more than twenty streets to help the police stop a group of car thieves. She was just planning to take advantage of the night to hang out on the top of a high-rise building to enjoy the night view of New York to change her mood, and then she secretly made her own police car
The channel tap started ringing.
There is a serious fire somewhere, and children are trapped in the fire!
As soon as Gwen heard this, he immediately used the spider silk launcher he made to swing high into the sky and quickly rushed towards the fire scene.
Because she was chasing the car-stealing gang, Gwen was a little far away from Queens. Even if she rushed towards the fire scene at full speed, it would still take at least five to six minutes.
Hold on! You must hold on! Under the mask, the corners of Gwen's eyes were slightly red with anxiety.
Finally, the ghost spider's figure jumped rapidly from the night sky and landed on the roof of the tall building closest to the fire scene.
Panting, Gwen quickly ran to the edge of the roof, preparing to swing into the fire scene with a spider's silk to save people.
But at this moment, cheers came from below.
Cheering? Gwen poked her head out from the edge of the roof and looked down.
I saw that the fire in the four-story building became more and more fierce, but people no longer paid attention to the burning building, but gathered in a circle, celebrating and cheering.
An ordinary-looking student wearing glasses, dressed in black and gray, was sitting by the flower bed and resting. Gwen knew that student, she was Heather Annorn, who had transferred from Connecticut a while ago, and Peter was hanging out with him.
Very familiar.
Next to them, a couple hugged the gray-faced little girl tightly, crying and laughing and thanking Heather.
He was the one who saved this child... Gwen blinked, took off her mask and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
Heather Unknown, this slightly strange name left a mark on Gwen's heart for the first time.
