When the strength finally returned to his body and limbs, Peter stood up.He was in a bad mood. If I wanted to be more specific, it would be regret and disappointment.

It was obvious that this was not the first time Mary had attended this type of party.And she should definitely not be unfamiliar with the drugs they take, after all...

Thinking of that passionate kiss, Peter's cheeks felt hot.

Wait, wake up Peter, she was just forcing herself to take drugs. God, she is only 16 years old. Is she not depraved enough? Does she want to drag herself into the water?

Wait, Peter thought through gritted teeth.This is all the fault of her bad friends. They are the ones who allowed Mary to get involved in this kind of thing. As long as you let her see the truth and stay away from these so-called friends, everything will go back to the way it was before.

Peter made up his mind and pushed open the bathroom door.Go back now and take her away from here. We can't let her sink deeper into this situation.

Peter started on the way back to the box, but he stopped suddenly after taking only a few steps.His ears twitched slightly, and his spirit entered a state of extreme concentration.It took more than ten seconds before he heard the sound he just heard again.

It should be...screams

Although the lights in the corridor were bright, Peter suddenly felt an eerie feeling when he looked at them.The screams are here in a formal casino with thousands of guests

Wait a moment and process what you heard earlier.The family has a fortune of tens of millions, but Peter, a man who reads the Wall Street newspaper every day, knows almost nothing about the surname Moretti.Casinos, sports cars, and plenty of bodyguards and thugs.Could it be that this Joe is still a member of the New York gangster family?

Damn, damn, damn, how could Mary get mixed up with such a person?

If I heard correctly just now, the scream came from...this direction.

Should he go or not? If he went, what could he do? These two questions weighed on Peter's mind.But in the end, curiosity got the better of him and he made up his mind to investigate.With his ability in the Force, he was still somewhat sure of getting out if something happened.

Having made up his mind, Peter waited until he was out of sight of the waiter in front of him. He immediately turned a corner and groped in the direction of the scream.After walking through two corridors, Peter heard another scream, but this time it was obviously much weaker.

They were quite close to their destination. After walking through the last corner, Peter saw a door at the end of the corridor, and there were two security guards guarding the door.If Peter was not mistaken, the screams came from behind that door.

How do you sneak in... In movies, it seems that people usually slip past the guards through the ventilation ducts. Can you try it yourself?

Peter quietly retreated without attracting the two security guards, and began to look at the possible entrances on the walls or ceilings near him, but not long after, the unwary Peter was spotted by a waiter. .

"Ah, you are Master Qiao's friend, right? This is not the direction of your box. Please come with me. There are many places on the second floor that are not accessible to anyone other than staff. If you provoke those security guards, it will not be a small problem." The waiter didn't show any surprise or doubt about Peter appearing in this area of ​​the casino.But now Peter's exploration can be said to have come to an end.He didn't dare to do something like knock the waiter unconscious and then hide it.Besides, pulling Mary out of this fire pit is the most important thing now.

He glanced in the direction of the door.I will come back again, Peter thought silently in his heart.

Before entering the room, Peter saw a ridiculous scene.Robert pushed Nancy, a friend of the girl he was chasing, against the wall. The two kissed passionately, and Robert's hands wandered under Nancy's clothes.They were completely unaware of Peter and the waiter's presence.

The waiter was quite professional. As if he didn't see anything, he led the embarrassed Peter to the door of the box and opened the door for him.The sound of heavy rock roared from inside the door, giving Peter a slight tinnitus.He couldn't help but sigh at the excellent sound insulation of the room here, and then walked in.

"Peter, you're back." Mary, whose face was red and could not walk steadily, rushed toward Peter and fell into his arms. "You've been there for so long, I thought you drowned in the toilet..." She chuckled, almost getting distracted by her own joke.

Peter glanced around the box.Joe and Susan were still dancing their ambiguous duet in the center of the stage.Henry was on the sofa with his arms around Emily, the girl Robert was chasing.The two of them were talking quietly.

Laughed out loud every now and then.The couple whose names Peter hadn't remembered so far collapsed on the ground. If they hadn't snorted and murmured in their sleep from time to time, Peter would have thought they had died.Cassie was nowhere to be seen.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, Peter whispered in Mary's ear: "Let's go out now."

"Get out" asked Mary, who was still slumped in his arms, and poked her finger on the tip of Peter's nose. "Peter, you've gone bad."

Thinking of the scene he just saw in the corridor, Peter felt a little dumbfounded.With a little effort, he helped Mary toward the door and walked out.Peter followed the route he had taken in his memory and walked all the way downstairs.The casino was still full at this time, no, it would be better to say it was more lively.There were crowds of people in front of every card table, almost every slot machine in the casino was occupied, and the bar in the bar was also overcrowded.

Peter tightened his grip on Mary and pushed through the crowd.Peter was slightly nervous as he passed the guard at the door, but nothing happened.

Mary, who was already a little dizzy, seemed to wake up a little when the cold wind outside blew her. "Peter, where are we going?"

"I'll take you home."

"No, I want to keep playing. Tonight has just begun." Mary struggled a little, but Peter didn't answer, he just helped her and continued to move forward.

After a while, Mary suddenly began to struggle violently, and Peter had to let go of his hand.

"Peter, are you crazy? Where are we going now?" Mary looked much more awake and could barely stand alone, but her reaction was different from what Peter expected.

"Take you home. You can't hang out with people like this anymore. They will destroy you."

However, Mary's reaction to this statement was quite violent. "Damn, what do you mean people like this they are my friends"

"These people are not your friends, nor should they be your friends. Do you know what they are doing?" Peter tried hard to sound exaggerated. "What you did is illegal. They will destroy your body and everything about you. I really don't want you to do it again."

"So what? This is my life, my choice, don't tell me what to do," Mary shouted back not to be outdone. "We just want to have a good time, so what do you always want to ruin the atmosphere."

"Mary, I'm talking about more important things. It's still early and you can still get away. I don't want you to go down this road together. I'm doing it for your own good."

"It's for my own good, do you understand me? Peter, why do you say you are for my own good?" Mary became excited. "Just because you have been my neighbor for seven years, do you know me? Do you know my hobbies? Do you know who my friends are? Do you know what I face every day? Peter, you don't know, I know you don't know. "

Peter was at a loss for words.After shaking his head, he grabbed Mary's hand and tried to drag her away. "You are not awake now. Come, I will take you home. We will talk about this later." However, Mary broke away, took a few steps back, and looked at Peter with a strange look.

"I understand, you look down on me, don't you?" Her tone suddenly calmed down, and there seemed to be a hint of indifference in it.

"Listen to me, Mary, you're drunk. Let me take you home and everything will be fine after you get some sleep." Peter was still trying to convince her, but Mary just shook her head.

"Why, just because you think you have good grades and you are smart, do you think you are better than all of us?" Mary's figure swayed and she clenched her hands. "Why, I like to go out to play and hang out with people you think are not ordinary. Do you think I'm despicable because of my poor academic performance? Tell me, Peter, do you think I'm despicable?"

"No Mary, listen to me." Peter stepped forward again and tried to grab Mary's shoulders, but his hand was slapped away by Mary.

"Don't touch me" There was only anger on her face.

After hesitating for a moment, Peter had no other choice and mobilized the Force in his body, trying to use its power to convince Mary to leave with him.However, as soon as his force came into contact with Mary's spirit, he was deflected by the violent emotions in her mind.Peter's face turned pale, and he took two steps back uncontrollably.When Mary saw this scene, her eyes gradually turned gray.

"Get out of here, Peter Parker," she screamed, walking back to the casino without looking back. "Go back and read your books and be the condescending nerd that you are."

But Peter could only look at her back, and went home alone in despair.
