I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 3 Mutation

Convincing Pepper Potts was not easy.

But Erin eventually managed to do it.

Of course, while this trouble was not completely resolved, Erin had to make sure to call Pepper Potts twice a day, morning and evening, to let her know he was safe.

This wasn't difficult for Erin.

But before that, he needed to go to a nearby shopping mall to buy a mobile phone.

As for Erin's original phone, it had already disappeared when the original owner was knocked unconscious and kidnapped.

I don't know if those guys embezzled it or if they just threw it in some trash can.

After personally seeing Pepper off to her car, Erin turned and went home, then locked the security door downstairs.

Although Chinatown isn't as chaotic as Hell's Kitchen, the nighttime security isn't great either. The fact that Erin was ambushed while walking through an alley is a clear example of this.

Not to mention now, he has a potential enemy.

After seeing Pepper Potts off, Erin didn't rest. She quickly returned to her room, grabbed a few sets of clothes for a change, and then...

Erin moved her bed in her bedroom and lifted the carpet.

Then, taking out the tools that had been prepared beforehand, he dug out a slightly loose floor tile.

Under the floor tiles.

What was placed there was the life savings of the original owner's mother and maternal grandparents.

A bank card, and three large rolls of US dollars.

Erin's mother was a successful Chinese-American woman who died in a car accident a year ago.

With Pepper Potts' help, the hundreds of thousands of dollars in after-tax inheritance left by Erin's mother, along with a three-story house on the edge of Chinatown, provided Erin with the financial foundation to survive and successfully complete her studies.

As for the father, well, he was practically nonexistent. According to Erin's mother, she was a single mother who went to a sperm bank to have her sperm extracted for artificial insemination in order to avoid being pressured by her parents to get married.

to this end.

It is said that Erin's maternal grandparents were so angry at the time that they almost broke off relations with their daughter.

It wasn't until Erin was born that the relationship between the two sides gradually improved.

During his childhood, Erin usually lived with his maternal grandparents, while his mother was responsible for earning money to support the family.

When Erin was 10 years old, an illness took the life of Erin's maternal grandfather, and her maternal grandmother, overwhelmed with grief, also passed away not long after.

As an aside, this three-story building in Chinatown was originally an inheritance from my maternal grandparents. After changing hands twice, a substantial inheritance tax was paid before it reached Erin, severely impacting her mother's finances…

Even if it shrinks further, Erin's wealth still exceeds that of most people in the country.

Besides the $300,000 in savings in the bank, Erin also had $30,000 at home, as well as some spare change.

In addition, their family owns a three-story building where the first floor can be used as a shop.

This considerable fortune is probably why that gang had their eyes on Erin.

A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime.

After taking out three large rolls of US dollars and bank cards from under the floor tiles, Erin stuffed the three rolls of dollars and bank cards into the backpack containing his clothes, and then put the floor and bed back in their original positions.

After doing all this, Erin closed her eyes and pondered for a while, then took out a key from a drawer in her bedroom.

After taking out the key.

Erin ran down the stairs and then used the key in his hand to unlock the basement door of the somewhat old three-story house.

It may be due to years of neglect and aging of parts.

After unlocking the lock, Erin kicked the wooden basement door several times before finally managing to open it.

The force was so great that it even knocked off the Protestant Bible calendar hanging on the wall.

After waving his hand to disperse the dust that had been shaken down and the murky air that had billowed from the basement, he...

Erin pressed some buttons on the wall next to him.

next second.

When the lights came on, the pitch-black basement was instantly illuminated as if it were daytime.

The glaring incandescent light was so bright that even Erin was somewhat blinded.

Because his maternal grandmother was afraid of the dark, his maternal grandfather put a lot of effort into improving the lighting in this basement when he was still alive.

It seems to be working quite well.

After the air in the basement circulated with the outside air and became less stuffy,

Erin descended the creaking wooden stairs to the basement.

Then, at the entrance to the basement, in the hidden compartment under the second drawer in the first row, he pulled out a pistol wrapped in tarpaulin.

A well-maintained Beretta pistol with a silvery sheen.

This is a treasure left by my maternal grandfather.

This Beretta 92F pistol protected three generations of the Lin family, repelling many burglars and robbers. Erin grew up listening to stories about this gun.

After her grandfather died, Kelly put the gun away in the basement to prevent Erin from messing with it.

However, every year on the anniversary of her grandparents' death, Kelly would take out this gun and take good care of it.

Touching the Beretta in my hand, still covered in gun oil.

Erin felt an indescribable excitement.

Come to think of it, this is the first time Erin has ever handled a gun.

Moreover, a gun is a hero's courage, and touching this gun greatly increased Erin's sense of security.

After obtaining the US dollars and the gun, Erin did not stay at home for long.

Instead, he quickly booked a room at a Chinese-owned hotel several blocks away from his home.

·······

Recalling her experiences on the day after her transmigration, Erin felt a pang of emotion.

This experience is far more exciting than my previous life.

Turning over, Erin mentally sorted through his past life's memories, even though many parts were somewhat blurred due to the human body's natural forgetting mechanism.

However, you can still glean a lot of useful information from it.

Erin's consciousness kept processing the information, watching it as if it were a movie. As his mental energy was constantly being depleted, his body also began to experience inexplicable fatigue.

This weariness grew stronger and stronger, causing his consciousness to gradually become blurred, his thoughts to become chaotic, and he to drift off to sleep.

At that moment, Erin suddenly felt that the air around him seemed to have stopped flowing, becoming viscous and eerie.

Followed by.

In a daze, Erin heard a series of frenzied, eerie, yet alluring whispers in his ear.

It seemed as if dozens of people were whispering something around Erin.

No matter how hard Erin tried to concentrate and listen, he couldn't make out what the murmurs were saying.

Instead, the whispers made my brain ache.

Just as Erin was about to groan in pain, the eerie whispers, accompanied by countless murmurs that mingled and overlapped, suddenly receded like a tide, and the surroundings became very quiet, with a rather ethereal atmosphere.

Not just the surroundings.

Erin felt his own soul also becoming adrift.

His soul seemed to have crossed a barrier and arrived in some unknown place.

When Erin opened his eyes again, a thick white mist filled his vision.
