Marvel: The games I made have invaded reality.

Chapter 10; Passionate Kiss, Surrounding

Indeed, Merlin not only didn't do anything wrong this time, but he also repelled the monster that suddenly appeared and protected his classmates.

They can see all of this on the surveillance footage.

Because the lizardman monster incident was of great importance and could easily cause panic if not handled properly, George, as the sheriff, could not leave immediately and could only send someone to take him home.

…………

Back home, Gwen and Hannah had already set up a grill on the balcony and lit apple charcoal.

"Merlin, you're finally back! Hurry up and cut the meat." The apartment's open-air balcony was quite large, even comparable to some rooftops, so the barbecue grill didn't feel crowded or stuffy.

"Where's Peter? Didn't he come?" Although Merlin had a general idea of ​​Peter's situation, he still wanted to confirm it.

Hearing Merlin's words, Gwen shook her head dejectedly. "I don't know if he has a cold or is in a bad mood, but he's not planning to come."

"Looks like the three of us will have to drink then." Merlin waved the beer he bought on the way back.

"That's enough!" Gwen's eyes lit up. At home, George kept her under strict control, making it virtually impossible for her to get her hands on beer.

Only when I come to Merlin can I secretly have a little drink.

After the barbecue was finished, the three of them sat around the grill, drinking cool beer and chatting while enjoying the city's night view.

However, it's usually Merlin and Gwen who bicker, while Hannah watches from the sidelines with a smile, occasionally chiming in.

…………

……

Afterwards, Gwen cleared her breath of alcohol and carefully returned home, while Merlin escorted Hannah home.

At this time of day, except for the main urban area, the streets are basically empty, making it dangerous for someone to go home alone.

There is a high probability that crime is hidden in all sorts of narrow alleys.

"Come on, get on." Merlin lit the fire and tilted his head toward Hannah, whose cheeks were flushed.

He hadn't expected the other person to have such a low alcohol tolerance; they seemed a little dizzy after just one glass.

However, Hannah, with her rosy cheeks, looked much cuter under the hazy streetlights.

"Hmm..." Hannah climbed onto the back seat with slightly unsteady steps, then hugged Merlin's waist tightly with both hands, her whole body almost pressed against his.

"Pretty interesting..."

He muttered something in surprise, then released the clutch and started the motorcycle.

Seemingly having heard Merlin's words, Hannah's already flushed cheeks turned even redder.

"Buzz..." The exhaust sound echoed on the quiet street, gradually subsiding.

Hannah sat in the back seat, feeling the wind rushing past her ears. The cool breeze helped clear her head, which had been feeling a little dizzy.

…………

Outside of Manhattan, there aren't many DUI checks in other areas, and even fewer at this location. Merlin drove his motorcycle smoothly all the way and soon arrived at Hannah's house.

"We've arrived. Get some rest. The venue was made possible by your help today."

…………

"Hannah?" Merlin turned around in confusion when there was no response from the back seat for a long time. However, the next moment, Hannah, with a flushed face, immediately came forward.

Merlin didn't stand on ceremony. He turned around, wrapped his arms around her waist, pulled her close, and then, sitting on the motorcycle, kissed her passionately, facing her directly.

After a long while, Hannah's rapid breathing echoed in the moonlight, her red-rimmed eyes gazing unfocusedly at Merlin, who was so close to her.

"Click!" Suddenly, the sound of a door opening rang out.

Merlin and his companion turned to look, and saw an old woman with silver hair squinting at them, as if trying to confirm something.

"Grandma!" Hannah exclaimed, jumping out of Merlin's arms and running over, her face flushed.

"See you tomorrow!" Merlin waved with a smile, then started his motorcycle and disappeared into the night.

"Haha, it seems I've disturbed you." Hannah's grandmother said with a smile, looking at her blushing granddaughter.

"I really did disturb you..." Hannah patted her slightly flushed cheeks as she looked in the direction Merlin had gone, lost in thought.

…………

The next day.

Merlin went to call Gwen, and as expected, she wasn't home.

She certainly wouldn't stand idly by when the lizardmen appeared; she probably changed into her spider suit last night and was drunkenly swinging on her webs over the Big Apple.

I just don't know if they went to crawl into the sewers.

As soon as Merlin arrived at his destination on his motorcycle, a group of reporters and tech company personnel who had been waiting eagerly surrounded him.

"Hello, according to the police report, you repelled the lizardmen, is that true?"

"According to our investigation, Spider-Man was also present at the time. Why was it announced that you were the one who defeated the Lizard?"

"Is it because you have a close relationship with Sheriff George Stacy?"

"How did you defeat the target lizardmen?"

"Make way, make way, he's not available for an interview right now, we are the ones in charge."

…………

Before Merlin even got out of the car, he was surrounded by reporters of all sizes, who were trying to elicit more sensational or controversial statements.

Meanwhile, the people from various technology companies were pushed outside by these reporters.

Merlin looked at the microphone shoved to his mouth with a helpless expression, afraid that if he opened his mouth, the microphone would be shoved into it.

However, the best thing to do at this time is to remain silent, and even so, they can still misinterpret it and label it with various titles.

Silence is equivalent to tacit agreement.

As for speaking, that goes without saying.

Fortunately, the principal of Midtown High School quickly brought in security guards and calmed all the reporters down temporarily.

After all, these people did not make an appointment, and such random interviews are against regulations.

"We will hold a press conference later, and everyone is welcome to come and interview us."

"No, we just want to know the specifics of yesterday's events. You can't stop us from pursuing the truth!"

"Yes! He needs to stay!"

…………

The reporters immediately objected, saying, "If you take him back and give him a warning, what's the point of us digging?"

They waited here early in the morning because they thought Merlin was still young and they could get more information out of him.

But the principal knew the nature of these reporters, so he didn't indulge them and directly had security guards escort Merlin into the school, keeping them outside.

The people from various tech companies straightened their collars and followed them inside.

They came here to discuss cooperation, and incidentally to see if they could poach Merlin, this high school student.

Since we've already developed the atomic gun, there's no need for universities anymore; we might as well just recruit them into companies and train them.
