Chapter 8 Poor Peter, please wait one more lifetime!
A raging fire broke out at the corner of the alley.
Xiaoyu looked on with an air of accomplishment as she gazed at the crimson fire dragon engulfing the headless Tomie.
[You scared Peter Parker's little heart. A naughty joke earned you a small amount of Mischief Points.]
Suddenly, a line of small print appeared in front of me.
Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, then saw the pop-up window go crazy and the notification sound in her ear rang loudly, and she immediately became excited.
This is……
Has the system been updated?
Xiaoyu looked at Daidouji Tomoyo beside her, and the latter nodded, clearly having received the same hint.
You caught the Punisher's "Midnight Hunt" and earned a small amount of Mischief Points.
[You captured Thompson and Tomie's "crazy moment" and earned a small amount of Mischief Points.]
【…】
Xiaoyu and Zhishi were whispering to each other.
Leaning against the low wall of the Thompson house, Peter Parker's heart was pounding.
"Xiaoyu, are we really sure it's okay to do this?"
The firelight was reflected in his pupils.
I can't believe I actually did such a thing, set it on fire...
Oh my god, Aunt Meryl Streep would go crazy if she found out.
"Of course, Dad said we should use magic to fight magic."
"But this isn't magic at all. You just went into the Thompson's house and took the kitchen lighter."
Before Peter Parker could finish speaking, he suddenly jolted awake. What did he see?!
It's moving!
Despite being on the verge of being completely burned, Tomie Kawakami began to writhe and struggle again.
Peter stared, completely mesmerized.
ah ah ah...
Why?! How did everything tonight turn into a horror movie?!
"Hey, I knew she wasn't any good!"
Behind her came Xiaoyu's voice, as if she had known all along, but then...
The tone shifted to a smug, slightly expectant one!
"Peter, turn around and watch out!"
"what?"
In the moment of stunned silence, Peter Parker was enveloped by a purple cannon barrel that fell from the sky.
boom!
Pull the rope.
Pink smoke spread out.
You hit Peter Parker with a 10-year-old rocket launcher, earning a large number of Mischief Points.
"Wow, so many?!"
Xiaoyu looked pleasantly surprised.
However, Tomoyo pointed in front of her with a puzzled look, but there was no sign of the adult Peter.
on the contrary……
"Why is it just a handful of ashes?!"
"Could it be that Peter will be gone in 10 years? That would be too young to die."
"How pitiful!"
……
Above the real dimension, from the fifth-dimensional space, fireworks exploded and ribbons fluttered.
Louis watched as Thompson carried Tomie away, leaving everyone else in the dust, humming a little tune.
"Jiang'er, Jiang'er~"
"Plant one Tomie tree in spring, and harvest a whole field of Tomie trees in autumn!"
"Who will be the recipient of this adorable head?"
"Tama, Tomoyo, Lambo, as expected of the cutest kids in the world, they pulled off a perfect prank!"
At this moment, the five-dimensional space began to expand, and Louis, as the dimensional demon god who controlled everything, clearly sensed another tributary.
The timeline, the World Tree, the sacred dividing point have appeared.
That leads to another possible universe, which is the future 10 years from now.
Using the power of a ten-year-old rocket launcher, little Peter went there.
"Each time you complete a naughty joke, you'll earn Mischief Points, which can be used to redeem more gifts."
Louis, with a mischievous grin, began stuffing things into the empty gift box.
"The chicken charm is here~"
"Dragon Balls are here~"
"The invitation for the newlyweds is here~"
"I almost forgot, there's also the Peace Star."
"Let's play more deadly jokes on the world to win more gifts! Let's see who the next lucky one is!"
……
In Manhattan, there are always those who arrive late.
"Jessica, you're late again. There's only one child left."
"I'm sorry, I had some things to take care of earlier."
Jessica Jones quickly apologized.
She had only been out of prison for a short time when the world changed drastically. Aliens and gods invaded New York, leaving her in a daze and in disbelief.
With Kingpin's death, Hell's Kitchen descended into complete chaos.
If before I could at least stay in the detective agency and occasionally take on one or two cases to make ends meet and ensure I didn't starve, now...
Oh.
Business?
The house was almost robbed, oh well!
Jessica isn't bragging, but this is just how she is. If it were anyone else, the owner of the fake detective agency, they might already be in some gang's territory.
With no other option, Jessica turned to Misty Knight for help. With the assistance and guarantor of this New York police officer, she finally managed to find this community job.
"Alright, come with me."
The orphanage teacher waved her hand and hurriedly led Jessica to the back garden.
Although it's called a garden, it's actually more like a playground for children, with swings, seesaws, sandpits, and so on.
"This child is rather withdrawn. If you give him something to eat, he'll take it. But when we organize drawing and playing games together, he just watches from the sidelines. This has been the case for the past few months."
The teacher pointed to the little boy with the watermelon head standing alone in the corner of the flower bed and sighed.
"At first, the children were happy to play with him, but later some older kids bullied him and he didn't say anything. Now... the children are a little scared and keep their distance from him, afraid to talk to him."
"And sometimes at night, this child will meow like a cat, which scares a lot of other children."
"The current job is that each person is responsible for taking care of one child. If you feel that a child is not suitable, we can actually change them."
These words shouldn't have been spoken by the orphanage teacher, but unfortunately, this child was too special. He had been adopted before, but was returned after only two days.
The registration showed that the child was traveling with his family, but unexpectedly, he encountered that incident.
Now that her parents are nowhere to be found, she is left all alone in this foreign land, no wonder she is becoming less and less talkative.
"It's okay, he's a weirdo, I understand."
Jessica waved her hand dismissively. She had been called a freak many times before, but she wasn't afraid of being called a freak; she was one herself.
Moreover, having just been released from prison, Jessica still cherishes her current job, even though she doesn't really want to take care of children.
If you have a withdrawn personality and don't like to talk...
Admittedly, this actually hit Jessica's sweet spot.
Jessica figured it was just a matter of checking in every day. She would check in, and the kids would check in too. They would also report what they ate, drank, and did each day.
Stealing wages isn't shameful.
"In that case, please sign here. Your name and home address will be registered here, and the child's address is on the right."
The orphanage teacher nodded, took a registration form from her drawer, and handed it to Jessica.
Jessica quickly wrote her name, only then remembering to glance at the child's name.
The register was covered with scribbled scribbles, and four characters were written crookedly.
Jessica read it aloud in an awkward tone.
"Toshio Saeki."
