[Zhongyingmei] Crowdfunding a heroine

"Do you know what the other party bought, Eric?" The deliveryman Kerry pushed the huge package in the back compartment, "It's really heavy, you actually lifted it."

"It's okay." Eric frowned, "It should be a metal instrument."

"Shipping from that company... Alcott..." Kerry muttered, "Is there a rocket launcher hidden?"

That being said, his driving speed slowed down.

He knew that his companion must understand what he wanted to say. The most famous thing about Alcott is that he is willing to do any business, especially in a city like Baltimore. The black bear gang holds the boss's daughter's wedding and sells the information. It is said that they have the contact channels of the most wanted criminals in the whole world. You better not commit crimes, otherwise you will have to worry about your information being sent to some black website for auction every day.

"Hmm... let me see, No. B118, Fesac Street..." Kerry went to knock on the door, and after a while, a man with blue eyes came over, followed by a woman with black hair. Pinned their hair to their ears and signed their names. They wore aprons and gloves, and they looked like they were cleaning, which was extremely lifelike.

"Wait, that one is heavier," Kerry said quickly when he saw the man wanted to carry the box, "Eh..."

As a result, the man actually moved up, and it looked easy.

The woman smiled, she should be the head of the household - Lena Lee.

She stepped forward and easily raised it with one hand, weighed it, and said, "I think it's okay."

Turning around, Lena happened to meet the silent Eric.

"It's really okay, it's not heavy." Eric walked over, lifted another box, and nodded to Kerry.

Kerry: "?"

Is it really not heavy, but his body has become weak?It looks like it's time to ask my wife to make more spinach soup when I go back.

……

"In the garage?" Clark asked.

"Hmm..." Lena nodded, took a step back and accidentally stepped into the stagnant water, "It looks like I have to renovate the garage next..."

She turned to look at Eric and asked, "Sorry...what's your name?"

"Eric Lanshere." The man said flatly.

"Hi," Lena waved to Kerry, "Just ask Mr. Lanshere to stay and help. Thank you."

"Okay, that's up to you, Eric..." Nodding with his companion, Kerry left. Eric has always been very reliable, and he believes that the other party can handle everything.

Lennart ran over with the bear in his arms, glanced at Clark, then turned to look at Eric, and finally he ran to Eric and blinked.

Eric bent down and patted his head.

Out of Mr. Lanshere's sight, Lena raised her knife to the thief, and slapped her neck threateningly.

"What did you buy?" The weight of the box was indeed not light. Clark lightly put the box on the ground. Lena walked over and scratched with her fingertips, easily scratching the several layers of shockproof material and the hard tin shell. , Clark glanced at her, and changed his posture to block Eric's sight.

"I haven't actually bought all the experimental equipment. Mr. Lanshere, can you unpack the other box for me?" In other words, Lena didn't provide Eric with any props to open the box.

The atmosphere was silent for a while, Eric frowned slightly and looked at her. Beside him, Lainate couldn't help but continued to move a small step in the direction of this person.

Then Eric said, "Lena Tia?"

"Lena Lee," she shrugged, "like you are Eric Lanshere now."

At this, Clark put a hand on Lena's shoulder, and he looked through Lanshere.

——The other party has changed his appearance.

"Need me to find you a pocket knife, sir?" she asked.

"No need." Lanshere said, the box automatically floated up, the outer shell twisted away, and then revealed the extremely technological instrument inside, "Where is it placed?"

Lena pointed to a corner. The ground that had been roughly cleaned once was still covered with a thin layer of dust. She waved her hand lightly, and the entire ground was covered with flat and thin red crystals, raising the feet of several people by two centimeters.

"Nice to meet you, Your Majesty Magneto." She smiled, "Would you mind having dinner here after work?"

This time Eric was silent for a while, and then said, "I need to talk to my family."

……

For dinner, Maria made corn chowder and fried lamb chops. Adults could drink beer, but Renault could only drink orange juice.

The courtyard was still empty, and they moved the sofa and table to the lawn for an open-air dinner.

Eric used the posture of drinking to cover up his gaze and observed this strange family.

A pair of siblings with a huge age difference, a red-haired grandmother, and a male friend who is said to be here to help.It felt like the whole family—not normal people, and after dinner was ready, Maria disappeared.

Now Lena has finally decided to reveal her reasons for keeping Eric—

"Mr. Eric," the woman's light green eyes sparkled under the light, "First of all, I should thank you."

"Although your attitude towards mutants is very radical, many lonely mutants did gain courage because you stood in front of the world...such as me."

"I have changed. I don't know what your purpose is," Eric exhaled, "but I just want to be an ordinary worker now. I am temporarily transferred to Baltimore and will leave in two months."

"I know, but... Mutants are obviously a member of the human race, but they are not accepted just because they are different... Wouldn't it be too unfair?" Lena licked the wine stains on the corner of her lips, "Mr. Magneto , your retreat represents cowardice in the eyes of some people, when we are weak, we are surrounded by evil people, when we show strength, we will be surrounded by good people."

She stood up and looked at Lansheer, "You have hidden your identity like this, and your colleagues still want to report you, and now they have surrounded your house..."

Eric's complexion changed, he stood up suddenly and grabbed Lena's skirt, Clark stepped forward and grabbed his wrist.

"...Don't get excited, Mr. Lanshere, I've said so much, I just want to invite you to visit the basement of my house." Lena patted Clark on the shoulder, and he let go of Eric's hand.

Magneto frowned, the metal beer can twisted and deformed, split into sharp blade shapes, and floated in midair.

"Eric?" A familiar female voice suddenly came from behind him.

Eric was taken aback, then turned his head, it was his wife and daughter.

The wife holds the youngest daughter in her arms, and beside her is the reappearance of Maria Maya.

"In fact, I should remind you," said the old woman helplessly, "it's already time for rest...why haven't you gone to bed, Nat?"

The little boy looked at her in bewilderment and disbelief, jumped off the sofa and ran back to the room with his mouth puckered.

"It's better to let the children go to rest," the red-haired old woman smiled, "I have a lot of stories about putting the children to sleep. I hope that even if the adults want to talk, they don't wait until after midnight."

The wife and Eric looked at each other, then smiled at Maria, and Lena and Clark moved out of the way to let the wife and daughter into the guest room.

"...If you don't sleep after midnight, you will have nightmares, including you, Lena." Before leaving, Maria said so.

"So, hopefully we'll be out of the basement before midnight?" Lena shrugged.

"Please, Mr. Landseer."

……

"You dug through all of Baltimore?" Lanshere asked.

They are located under the Douglas Square in the city center, and this is also the largest platform of the underground red crystal labyrinth. Although Lena can change the shape of this place, the naturally generated scene here is more beautiful.

The crystals above their heads were darker, and Lena thought she saw a huge heart.

It must be her eyesight.

"Almost," Lena looked up. There were only three of them here. The scenery in front of her eyes looked hazy and dreamy. "You must be thinking what I want you to do? I didn't kidnap your family."

Lena just asked Maria to help them when he talked about his family, thinking of what he discovered when he spread his consciousness to Baltimore, and she added: "Maria washed away your colleagues' thoughts about Your memory, at least for now you are safe."

Lanshere paused: "Is she a spiritual mutant?"

"Maybe." Lena said vaguely, "Mr. Lanshere... brought you here to prove to you that what I will say next is capable of being realized."

"You want me to believe a wanted man?"

"You are also a wanted criminal yourself, the most famous one. In fact, you have more experience as a wanted criminal than I do. Naturally, you know how difficult it is to live a peaceful life."

"I want to transform Baltimore," she said earnestly.

"So what will you do?" Magneto asked. "Create your kingdom underground, lady?"

"I haven't figured it out yet... I haven't figured out what the way out of this terrible city is, but I won't leave. I've heard the voice of Baltimore, and I want to change her..." Lena looked up, "In Before that I want you to be my personal tutor... I need to know myself better."

"Wait a minute..." She suddenly held her forehead.

"What's wrong?" Clark asked.

"I heard..." Lena's eyes widened—

She heard a broken voice saying, "Help...me! Mama—"

……

new York.

Dark red frost covered the entire top floor of the Stark Building, and the girl with a crystalline structure connected to the entire plane of frost was grabbed by the neck of the blue-armored monster and lifted up——

Her mouth opened and closed, and people in the distance could recognize that mouth shape by relying on surveillance.

"She's calling...Mom." Tony gritted his teeth, "Damn it!"
