Chapter 41: The Resurrected Pepper Potts
It has been a full week since Xiao Shixuan brazenly killed Erickson after obtaining information from S.H.I.E.L.D. last time.
For the course of a week, everyone in New York was in fear.
Everyone is afraid that the murderous flame giant will suddenly appear in their life or work.
In the battle between Ghost Spider-Woman and the Flame Giant a week ago, the entire Morgan Building next to it is now completely abandoned.
Because, in that building, a total of more than 1,000 ordinary people were buried.
All of them were burned to death by the flame giants, and most of them could only find a handful of black ashes, not even a complete corpse.
No one knew why the Flame Giants were attacking that building, why they were killing those ordinary people.
Ordinary people are completely unaware.
They just knew that the flame giant had disappeared with a golden glow after attacking the Morgan Mansion.
No one thinks that the Flame Giant is dead, everyone thinks that the Flame Giant continues to hide in New York City.
But others who are not ordinary people have already learned some of the facts in the news released by S.H.I.E.L.D.
The Flame Giant is a test subject in Erickson's secret human laboratory, and after passing brutal human experiments, he gains power by chance and takes revenge on Erickson.
In such a simple sentence, people who knew the name Erickson chose to believe S.H.I.E.L.D.'s statements, and they didn't doubt S.H.I.E.L.D.'s claims at all.
Because, in the years they have been dealing with Erickson, they have already clearly understood how calm Erikson is and how crazy he is.
They believe in everything Erickson has done.
However, this undercurrent has nothing to do with Xiao Shixuan, for him, Erickson is dead.
The one who knew his secret was dead, and he was 'safe'.
Therefore, Xiao Shixuan is still very happy about this return to a comfortable life.
During the day, when he had nothing to do, he could wander around New York City, drink some coffee with only names he had heard before, and try some ice cream that he had never heard of before.
He can even go to Stark Industries' exhibition hall to see those cross-era black technologies, and then go home at night and hug his fiancée Gwen to sleep beautifully and have a good dream.
Although in the current era of New York City, touchscreen phones and everything are not yet fully popular, and most of them are still pursuing the combination of touchscreen and buttons.
But it doesn't mean that the technology in this world is not developed, at least Xiao Shixuan has seen many, many unimaginable inventions in the Stark Industries exhibition hall.
What kind of holographic projector, as well as a car that can fly a little distance, and even Xiao Shixuan saw in the exhibition hall of the expo that can make people invisible after wearing it.
In short, with S.H.I.E.L.D. giving money and invitations to admission, Xiao Shixuan soaked in the Stark Industries pavilion almost every opportunity.
On this day, Gwen went out early to carry out justice.
These days, because of the commotion of the flame giants, some criminals in New York City who can't hold back their hearts have come to the forefront.
Some criminals tried to use the name of the Flame Giant to openly confront Gwen.
For this kind of thing, Xiao Shixuan completely supported Gwen to break the legs of all of them.
Ready to bully my wife under my name?
Want to hang yourself?
So these days, Gwen's ghost Spider-Woman is basically busy during the day, saving people in the east, fighting fires in the west, helping grandma cross the street in the south, and helping the little cat who is afraid to go down in the tree in the north.
There are even times when the two of them enjoy their nights, and Gwen is called by Natasha to carry out justice.
After a walk around the house, Xiao Shixuan, who was idle and bored, visited the science and technology exhibition hall of Stark Industries again.
With a total of 32 floors, this ordinary pavilion is open all year round, and new technologies are introduced here every day.
As for Stark Industries' own science and technology exhibition, it's called Stark Industries, which is held annually.
"Sir, please show me your invitation."
Xiao Shixuan skillfully took out the invitation card that Natasha gave him and swiped it on the door.
"Welcome, Mr. Xiao Shixuan." The robot at the door gently pushed open the glass door of Xiao Shixuan's body and welcomed Xiao Shixuan.
That's right, the entire Stark Industrial Pavilion is full of futuristic scientific and technological information about machines.
It's the machine that opens the door, it's the machine that cleans, and it's the machine that even handles some simple little problems for you.
Of course, this was also experienced before Xiao Shixuan crossed, after all, the technology at that time was already able to do these things.
But if you compare that to New York City, 50 percent of people still use that PHS phone, or flip phone.
In this pavilion alone, the technology here is at least 30 years ahead of the outside world.
But today, Xiao Shixuan found two special people as soon as he entered the door.
Tony Stark himself......
And his assistant......
Pepper Potts!
Perhaps feeling Xiao Shixuan's shocked gaze, Pepper Potts, who was communicating with Tony Stark, looked up at Xiao Shixuan's position.
Xiao Shixuan hid behind the stone pillar in the hall, holding his heart with one hand, and his blood flowed madly at an accelerated pace.
"How is that possible! I killed Pepper Potts too! For this Pepper Potts who suddenly appeared, Xiao Shixuan's head was like a nuclear bomb exploded.
Sticking out his head and glancing at Pepper Potts, who was smiling and communicating with Tony Stark, forcibly suppressing the restlessness in his heart, Xiao Shixuan walked quickly in the direction of the bathroom.
"Better if it's just my hallucination, or just another Pepper Potts from this integrated Marvel world."
Walking into the bathroom, Xiao Shixuan sat on the toilet, and an orange-red flame of revenge came out of his palm.
Xiao Shixuan slapped the flame of revenge on his eyebrows.
After being hypnotized by Erickson, Xiao Shixuan now feels that something is wrong, and immediately injects a flame of revenge into his brain.
Because, Erickson's death does not mean that the hints in Xiao Shixuan's spiritual depths have disappeared.
After smoking two cigarettes in the bathroom, Xiao Shixuan packed up his mind and walked out of the bathroom.
"Oh, Mr. Xiao Shixuan, hmm...... No, Mr. Vengeful Flame, good morning! ”
Hearing the unfamiliar voice behind him, although it was not very familiar, Xiao Shixuan clearly remembered the owner of this voice.
Pepper Potts!
Turning his head to look at the woman in front of him who amazed him, the small amount of revenge flames in Xiao Shixuan's body slowly gathered in his hands.
This time, Pepper Potts was wearing a slim-fitting women's suit and purple high heels, compared to when Xiao Shixuan saw her for the first time, she was not decadent and very beautiful!
But this beauty made Xiao Shixuan feel very good, and there was a lingering gloom hidden in her heart.
"Pepper Potts? You ......"
"I'm sorry, you want to say I should have been burned by you, did you?"
Listening to Pepper Potts's words, Xiao Shixuan was silent, he was 100% sure that he had killed Pepper Potts at the Sublimation Restaurant at that time.
If the Pepper Potts in front of him is not an illusion, then the woman who died in the first place is not Pepper Potts!
Stared at by Xiao Shixuan's murderous eyes, Pepper Potts smiled slightly, "Ah! You know, this silly girl Pepper Potts has always been a very kind person, and she can't bear to hurt you, so I have no choice but to take action. ”
Is Pepper Potts a kind girl?
You say that about yourself??
Xiao Shixuan's head suddenly didn't turn, and he was still thinking about whether to kill Pepper Potts again.
Holding back the killing intent in his heart, Xiao Shixuan patiently asked: "Then!" Who are you?! ”
