Friendly neighbors are villains

Amy really didn't expect that the system would match her with such superpowers. She even imagined that she might be an insect control or electric system, because they seemed to match her own experience better.

However, it turned out to be the protagonist's halo. Although many things in the game world are unconstrained, she can actually develop such a superpower, which is really funny.

Peter probably really wanted to laugh, but felt that it was inappropriate, so he replaced the laughter with a few unnatural coughs: "So is there anything special that is different?" Combining superpowers in the sense of the word, that's too weird.

Others probably thought the same thing, and would have thought the girl was lying if it wasn't for the fact that Amy wasn't usually cracking jokes in front of them.

But judging from Amy's tangled and disbelieving expression, it should be true.

"I'm checking." Amy said, "There is information in the background explaining the usage of skills."

She swiped the screen and placed the text on the panel on the desktop in the center.

【Protagonist Halo】

Unlimited vitality: Players have absolute immortality, no matter how cruel the kill they encounter, they can save themselves from danger;

Companion assistance: When the player is facing extreme danger, all companions near you will provide you with unconditional assistance at the first time;

The protagonist's speech: Players can gain the trust and support of the alliance camp partners through language;

Random drop luck: Players can pick up practical props during the strategy process, and the success rate in the corresponding action is UP;

Enemy's Nemesis: The player's enemies will automatically reduce their power by 50.00% in battle;

Exclusive background music: no one can beat you in your BGM;

Amy read the skill information displayed by the system one by one, and she noticed a brief twitch on Eric's face. Amy wasn't sure if he was smiling, but Amy wanted to laugh anyway.

Is the protagonist's halo considered a superpower?

When Amy was developing the game, she and the team did put a lot of content that added comedy into the game. Regardless of whether the world is real or not, this is the game mode after all. The funny elements designed by Amy came in handy. .

She got a seemingly useless but useful skill. If she were the main character, the world would revolve around her, so the follow-up plan might go more smoothly than expected.

However, [Protagonist Halo] is currently only a superpower, and the current protagonist is still the Duke. She must regain that identity in order to maximize this superpower.

"That's it." Amy shrugged. "Do you have any special feelings, such as suddenly discovering that I am a savior or a goddess?"

Hannibal said calmly, "No, but you seem to be recovering well and sleeping well."

Amy felt a little frustrated by their indifferent reaction: "I slept for 10 minutes if I had to say it." The villain's humor cells are too lacking.

"Ten minutes?" Harry said. "You've been in there for at least four hours."

Amy was stunned for a moment: "I think, that may be your time. In my time, it is only 10 minutes. You know, no player can accept more than that long waiting for an upgrade."

Harry is noncommittal, he has never played strategy games, he has not even played video games, Harry just understands the role of games, and he himself has invested in game companies.

A sudden silence made the atmosphere very delicate, probably because they hadn't calmed down from Amy's superpowers, or they all had their own speculations. In short, the room seemed extremely quiet.

Peter seemed to want to say something to Amy, but because everyone was silent, he was embarrassed to speak alone.

In fact, Peter finds Amy's superpowers very interesting, and he wants to know more details, such as whether Spider-Man is the hero or something.

Amy broke the silence first: "Eric, I want to talk to you."

"Just the two of us?" Eric asked.

Amy thought for a while: "Yes, it's just us." She thought of the telepathic conversation with Charles in her sleep, and she needed to tell Eric the latitude and longitude coordinates. No matter what Eric did, Charles still believed his.

Now that four hours have passed, Amy feels the need to make the next move.

Of course she trusts Peter, and Amy doesn't mind having Peter join the conversation, but it would make Hannibal and Harry unhappy, and Amy doesn't want to complicate things so much, so she also excludes Peter, at least that way First, Hannibal and Harry would think it was fair.

Afterwards, she could tell Peter the content of her conversation with Eric without reservation, and the tacit understanding between her and Peter made the boy immediately understand Amy's intentions.

Obviously the other two were not so easy to deceive, and Hannibal could even confirm from Amy's eyes that the topic she wanted to talk to Eric must have something to do with Strange.

Fortunately, he didn't care about it, Hannibal had always obeyed Amy's instructions.

When only Eric was left, Amy said straightforwardly: "I met Professor X, and he established a telepathic connection with me when I was asleep."

"Where is he now?" Eric didn't seem surprised.

"Somewhere [-] kilometers under the South Pacific Ocean." Amy said, "His telepathy can't travel so far. For some reason, he can enter my brain while I'm sleeping. Every time we have telepathy The electricity came and went, all while I was sleeping, and for the first time I thought I was dreaming."

"What information does he want you to give me?" Eric asked bluntly, not concerned about Amy's sleeping problem, he was not very interested in chatting nonsense.

"The professor provided me with a coordinate. Doctor Strange is there. Borg is an enemy with the level of a supreme mage. We are not his opponent. The only one who can compete with him is Doctor Strange. He is the real supreme mage." Amy Tell Eric everything Charles conveyed to himself, "He hopes you will not act rashly."

Charles knew Eric, he knew that once he wanted to achieve a certain purpose, there must be a result.

Eric is confident and strong enough, he may find the Duke alone, but he is not a mage, even if he can deal with the Duke, he will not succeed.

Charles didn't want him to be in unnecessary danger.

So is Amy.

"Do you know the exact location of that coordinate?" Amy asked, she couldn't find the corresponding location from the system, and could only get the answer from Eric, "We can go together now, before it gets dark .”

Dealing with villains is easier than dealing with worms, because villains will not swarm like worms, their number is far less dense than worms, and their attack and defense are not uniform.

"You don't need to worry about it, stay here." Eric said mercilessly, he already knew the location of the coordinates, and he didn't plan to share it with Amy.

"We need to cooperate, understand, without me, you can't enter the mirror space." Amy said.

"What are you going to use to cooperate with me?" Eric said, "Your aura? Don't think about it, this is not a game, stay with Spider Boy, I know what to do next, I know better than you what is war."

"To a certain extent, I did inherit your trait of 'never give up until you reach your goal'." Amy said, "But you are more stubborn than me, and you are unwilling to be flexible and give in."

Eric didn't answer.

"Doctor Strange is trapped in the mirror space, and he needs a 'suspended ring' to go in and bring people out. I have it, but you don't, and I won't give you the game props." Amy continued, "How about Let's make another deal."

"I'm not making any deals with you," Eric interrupted her.

"You haven't listened to the content yet," Amy said.

Eric sighed, one of the few gentle expressions on his tense and stiff face: "I want you to live a normal life instead of doing what a superhero would do."

Amy was stunned for a moment, no matter how dull people could feel his concern.

"I have lost too much and gained so little. I don't want to see you take risks for this matter." Eric continued, "No matter what Xavier tells you, don't take it seriously. You think he is a good man, but he Is using little tricks to lure you into doing his best, but he just looks like he's doing it for your own good."

"He is not such a person." Amy said with a smile, it feels great to be cared by someone, which is a long-lost experience for Amy after working hard alone in the United States.

"You know too little about him. The enemy only let you see what you want to see." Eric said, "He is hailed as an angel by many people, but he has done a lot of things that the devil can do. You know that Xavier Was he crazy about exploring the secrets of the human brain in a certain period of time, he is not as perfect as you think."

"I don't care if he's perfect," Amy said, "but if you try to do it alone, it's not going to end well."

Amy is looking for a BGM suitable for this situation. There was no exclusive music for the character in the background of the system. Now she has the aura of the protagonist, and there are many more melodies in the audio bar to enhance the player's skills.

She quickly selected a song, and then clicked the play button.

The soothing syllables beat slowly, first low and introverted, and then a brisk rhythm appeared.

The BGM has a total duration of 3 minutes. Amy has to persuade the other party to give up the idea of ​​"going alone" after a piece of music is over, otherwise she will have to wait for a 15-minute buffer before continuing to play.

"I am the only one who can enter that coordinate and get out. If you refuse me to participate in this war, then we will suffer heavy casualties. You have seen the power of the Duke, which comes from the blessing of his equipment. I need Get my equipment back, so that even a magician can't defeat me in the world he created." Amy said with the gradually accelerating music, "We can divide the work and cooperate. After I enter, You stand guard for me, and Doctor Strange once had a good chat with me. I guess the rescue operation should not be difficult. Think about it, if he sees you, will he follow you obediently? In the mirror space, you can even manipulate metal The power may all be taken away."

Eric felt his brain identify with her uncontrollably.

"Here, I can't survive as an ordinary person, you clearly know that, don't you?" Amy continued, "Think about it, our cooperation is the most effective way, you take me to the destination, I find Doctor Strange Even if there is danger in the middle, you can resist for me, are you willing to do this, Eric, with me, not to save the world, but to get back what belongs to us, and then I can live an ordinary life Now, you can also do what you want, and everyone is happy."

Eric compromised. Although he was conscious, it was difficult to refute Amy's statement.

"What did you do to me." Eric knew that he had been disturbed by some kind of brain, and now that he was awake, it meant that Amy hadn't released her power.But he didn't change his words and asked Amy to stay in the safe house. He knew that refusing would be useless, and Amy could use her ability to make herself give up her principles at any time.

"The protagonist's speech." Amy said, "Don't underestimate the aura of the 'protagonist', it can accomplish many things, do you usually watch movies?"

"No." Eric said.

"You should really take a look. You will find that as long as they are the protagonists, they can succeed in everything, even if the process is bumpy." Amy has a little understanding of how to use her power.

"Boring advice." Eric was about to leave.

Amy followed him: "Eric, do you want me to call you daddy?"

"Whatever you want." He said coldly.

When they walked out of the laboratory, the air outside seemed much fresher. Peter was the only one in the living room, and he was staring at an old closed-circuit television with a solemn expression.

Amy hasn't seen such an old TV for a long time. The entire case is very thick and covered with dust. Peter simply cleaned it and repaired the damaged circuit inside.

It is easy to be tracked with smart products, but CCTV is very safe. Although it is now the world of smart appliances, Eric still likes old things.

"The situation is a little bit bad." Peter stood up from the sofa, looked at Amy and said, "You can never imagine what happened."

"Get to the point." Amy stepped forward, subconsciously interlocking with Peter Cross.

Peter was a bright boy, and he used to hide his troubles with humor and playfulness. If even he had a look of "it's over", it meant that the troubles might be out of control.

The not-so-clear TV screen is showing images of the outside world in real time. Specifically, it should be the scene in the center of New York City. Spider-Man is suspended by vines on the top floor of the New York building, and the surrounding insects are stalking. Amy quickly understood what that "bad" meant.

Borg is using Spider-Man to bring the superhero out of hiding, and he may not be there, but that's not the point.

"That's not the real you," said Amy. "He got a stand-in, damn it!"

"Yes, we all know it's fake, but Mr. Stark and they don't know." Peter said, "We have to stop him, I mean, we have to find a way to let Mr. Stark know that I'm okay."

At this moment, on the TV screen, a thug-like character lifted off the fake Spider-Man's hood, and under that was the face of Peter Parker himself.

Amy and Peter froze at the same time.

"Is that the mask?" Amy thought of things like people/skin/masks. With Borg's ability, it is very easy to make Peter's face headgear with 3D printing.

Peter frowned, agreeing with Amy's judgment.

"It's a cloning body." Eric said, "I forgot to tell you something, the Duke, that is, the Borg wearing the Duke's equipment, used Parker's DNA to create a cloning body. Speaking of which, many were produced, but as far as I know, none of them survived, but it seems that one succeeded.”

"What?" Amy was more surprised than Peter.

"What's more troublesome is that he doesn't have the compassion of Mr. Parker." Eric seemed to have an unprecedented recognition of Peter's sense of justice, "It's an extremely evil body, but it has Parker's face That's all."

the other side--

Hannibal stood alone in a corner of the kitchen, and even though it was far from his personal kitchen, he still wanted to stay in this place because it was so remote that no one would notice.

He took a scalpel, lifted his clothes, and cut open his stomach forcefully. Although Hannibal had the ability to heal himself, he could still feel the pain.The pain of being cut by the sharp knife made him sweat profusely, but he refrained from making any louder noises.

Hannibal slowly pulled out a dark green cane from the cut abdominal cavity, still wriggling like a snake, and there was a lot of blood when he pulled the cane out.Hannibal didn't stop until the cane was ripped whole from his stomach, and he immediately threw the thing into the hot stove and burned it to death.

Hannibal was leaning against the wall with some weakness. There were more than one of these things in his body, but the one just now was the longest, and it hurt his intestines.

"Are you infected?" Harry silently appeared at the kitchen door, witnessing what Hannibal had just done.

Hannibal threw the scalpel at Harry reflexively, but it missed and nailed it to the wooden door behind Harry.

"Is it because of Parker?" Harry was indifferent to Hannibal's threat. He neither intended to help bandage him, nor did he take advantage of the danger, "When you rescued him, you sucked the poisonous bacteria into your body , you thought you could digest them all, but they still grew.”

Hannibal drooped his head a little irritablely. He watched his incision slowly heal: "Don't be self-righteous, Osborn, I just want to do an experiment."

"What kind of experiment?" Harry smiled mockingly, "I want to see if I'm the leading actor, only the leading role can't die, you don't look like it."

Hannibal wants to try how far his superpowers can reach in the game world, and he saves Peter for Amy, but it is his own voluntary behavior to introduce the virus in Peter's body into his blood.

Now it seems that the situation is a little less optimistic.

But Hannibal didn't care.

"Does Amy know about this?" Harry asked with a little concern, "Don't get me wrong, I'm just worried about whether you can play a role again. After all, the enemy is very powerful, and Amy needs valuable help."

Despite his weakness, Hannibal said with a grim look, "If you tell her, I don't mind letting you know if I can still function."

The author has something to say: the aura of the protagonist here belongs to a skill, although Amy is indeed the protagonist~
