After finishing his experiments with Connors, Peter happily skateboarded home.

However, seeing Uncle Ben, who was still sitting at the door of the house staring at him at night, Peter couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

"Hey, I thought you..."

Peter asked, curiously, but was quickly interrupted by Uncle Ben.

"Did you forget something?" Uncle Ben stared at Peter.

Peter pondered for a long time.

Something suddenly came to mind.

"You owe your aunt an apology!" Uncle Ben said, angrily standing up and opening the door, "Like a man, go in and apologize to her!" ”

Peter cautiously lowered his head and walked in: "I'm sorry, Aunt May, I ......"

"You don't have to apologize to me, I ......" Aunt May wanted to say something.

"No, he must apologize!" Uncle Ben leaned against the wall and interrupted Aunt May.

"I'm sorry for the delay."

Peter clutched his chest and apologized.

"Oh, you're delayed." Ben couldn't help but say, "Your aunt, my wife, she walked twelve blocks alone in the middle of the night and waited alone in the empty subway station because you forgot to pick her up!" ”

"Ben, dear. Honestly, I could have walked home alone. Aunt May interrupted Ben's reprimand for Peter, and she couldn't bear to let Ben continue to reprimand.

"Don't protect this child!"

"I didn't protect it!"

"You're protecting!" Ben's volume gradually increases.

"Listen, kid."

Ben looked at Peter.

"Yes, I'm listening."

Peter shrugged his shoulders, he was already a little impatient during his rebellious period.

"You're so much like your dad! Carved out of a mold, Peter, that's a good thing. Ben said to Peter earnestly, "But your father has his own philosophy of life, and his own principles. ”

"He believes that if you have the ability to help others, then you have this moral responsibility to help others!" Ben earnestly pointed to Peter in front of him and reprimanded, "That's what your existence is all about." It's not a choice, it's a responsibility! ”

His words wanted Peter to understand the responsibilities that a man who was about to come of age should bear.

But obviously the so-called father who had not been in Peter's life for more than ten years should not have been mentioned.

This made Peter, who was already a little impatient and reprimanded because of the rebellious period, completely explode, and he asked in a low voice with red eyes: "Yes, what you said is very good, very right. So where is he now? ”

"The responsible man in your mouth, where is my father?" Peter said, with some weeping in his voice.

"Shouldn't it be his responsibility to stand here and tell me these truths in person?" Peter questioned in a rising voice.

"Don't do that, how can you say that." Ben shook his head helplessly.

But Peter was clearly a little out of control.

When I think of the bizarre changes that have happened to me in recent days, I think of the so-called responsible father who has not appeared in his life for more than ten years.

Peter couldn't help but erupt.

He pointed hoarsely at Ben in front of him and roared, "How dare I? How can you say that?! You're not my father! ”

With that, Peter turned to leave.

Uncle Ben tried to catch up, but the force with which Peter smashed the glass door made Uncle Ben subconsciously stop.

Uncle Ben and Aunt May looked at Peter through the broken glass door, and Peter also turned to look at Uncle Ben outside the door.

Then Peter turned and walked away.

He didn't know that this look at him might be the last time he saw him, Uncle Ben, who had taken care of him like a father for more than ten years.

"Ben, let him be alone for a while, he'll be fine." Aunt Mei looked at Ben, who was stunned in place, and comforted.

Ben didn't say much, just patted Aunt Mei on the shoulder, and then opened the broken glass door and walked out.

He shouted Peter's name as he walked in the direction of Peter's departure.

"A total of two pieces and seven knives." The fat shopkeeper said to Peter, "You're not enough. ”

Peter, who didn't have enough money with him, casually took a penny from the change at the counter and put it on the table.

"No, you can pay a penny, but you can't take it from me!" The shopkeeper said, "You don't have money to buy milk, so go away!" Get out of the way! ”

"Didn't your dad give you the money for milk today?" The shopkeeper sneered at Peter.

"Don't bother my dad for a penny." Peter was ready to retort.

But the shopkeeper was already impatiently yelling, "Get out of the way, boy, there's someone to settle the bill later!" ”

Peter pursed his lips, took his money, and turned to leave.

The people behind Peter snatched all the money directly from the shopkeeper, and took advantage of the boss's inattention to throw the milk that Peter wanted to buy to Peter, who had not yet left the house.

Peter took the milk and walked out the door with a secret heart.

"Hey! Hold it! The shopkeeper hurried out, "Come and help stop the man!" ”

But no one paid any attention.

"Hey, boy, do me a favor?" The shopkeeper turned to look at Peter, who hadn't gone far.

"It's nothing to do with me."

Peter looked at the anxious shopkeeper and waved his hand, indicating that it had nothing to do with him.

Peter then turned away, ignoring the shopkeeper who was standing there shouting for help.

However, Peter, who turned to leave, did not notice that the running thief and Uncle Ben, who had come out to look for him, met him head-on.

Ben, who had a righteous heart, almost did not hesitate to go up and stop the thief.

But the thief actually has a gun in his hand.

………

Peter, who was walking away, subconsciously turned around when he heard the gunshot.

He saw a figure lying under a street lamp not far away.

The strong feeling in his heart made Peter stop and slowly approach the figure who had fallen to the ground.

The closer he got, the tighter Peter's heart sanctuated.

He could feel the familiarity of the figure.

When Peter trembled over to the figure, his eyes instantly turned red.

He crouched down tremblingly, barely believing his eyes.

It was Uncle Ben who fell to the ground.

It's Uncle Ben, who has raised him for more than ten years.

Peter trembled and reached out to plug the wound on Ben's stomach, and his voice was filled with an uncontrollable cry: "Oh God, God... No! No! No! Call an ambulance! Call an ambulance! ”

"Uncle Ben! Uncle Ben! No! Oh! God, don't! Peter covered his bloody wounds, his whole face turned red, and the tears in his eyes could not be suppressed.

At this moment, Peter's entire mind went blank.

For some reason, Peter, who was flustered at the moment, suddenly remembered the man in the coffee shop.

The words that came out of the man's mouth flashed through his mind again.

You will encounter a lot and lose a lot. If you can't accept a new life, maybe you shouldn't open that briefcase. 】

[You can interpret it as some kind of magic!] 】

[Power can sometimes make people lost, remember not to ignore a man who steals, that will make you regret it for life.] 】

[Your future is full of thorns, I just remind you that you can go to the coffee shop to find me when you think of me. 】

This godly chatter made Peter can't help but shrink.

"Stealing... Regret it for life..."

Peter muttered red eyes as he looked at Uncle Ben on the ground, as if he understood the meaning of the god's words.

Don't......

Is there really magic in this world?
