Chapter 146 Welcome to Hell, Teacher!
"What are you looking at?"
Helen came over curiously and asked Peter.
The two were sitting in a cafe near Forest Hills.
Helen saw Peter was always looking at his phone and couldn't help but ask him.
"Are you interested in prying into other people's privacy, Teacher Helen?"
Peter put away his phone and picked up the coffee at hand.
"I'm just not happy with the way you often look down at your phone when others are talking."
Helen pushed her sunglasses down and glanced at Peter out of the corner of her eye.
At this time, she was wearing a tweed coat, dark blue wide-leg jeans, a baseball cap, and a pair of high-platform heels. Her stunning appearance attracted many people in the cafe.
"I have watched the video you provided."
Helen quickly turned the subject to the main topic.
Peter had already used the Gem Wasp to scout the tunnels of the mine.
The high-definition camera can capture many of the secrets inside very clearly.
In addition to the murals and amazing architecture, human bodies have been found inside.
Based on the state of decay of the corpses and the attire of these people, it can be inferred that these people are hired security personnel for Valen Mining or Stark Group.
Helen took screenshots from the video that Peter provided her and made them into photos.
She handed Peter a photo. "Look at these rocks. Beneath the sandstone are Comanche limestone veins. There are a lot of fossils in the middle, including cephalopods, corals, sea urchins, and limpets. There are also occasional silicified sponges and marine vertebrate skeletons - probably skeletons of bony fish, sharks, and teleosts."
Helen used her knowledge of biology to explain to Peter: "These vertebrate fossils are very valuable. They were probably formed in ancient times when this area still had a tropical climate."
Peter picked up the photo from the table and looked at it carefully.
"The hollow cave is only seven or eight feet deep, but it extends in all directions, and there is a slight flow of air inside, which means there must be a larger underground space here."
She continued in a slow tone, "There are dense stalactites growing downward from the top of the cave and stalagmites growing upward from the ground. After years of growth, some stalactites and stalagmites have been connected together to form stone pillars. Perhaps this is leading to the interior of the earth, a long-lost past that has disappeared."
Peter looked at the photo and asked Helen, "How long ago was it?"
"I do not know."
Helen picked up the coffee and handed Peter a few photos. "Look at the content of these murals. A spaceship landed on the earth and released a species that could exterminate humans. Then a species that looked like vampires appeared."
Because Peter had told her the story of Space Knight before, she cast a suspicious look at Peter.
"Peter, are you really the human being chosen by the Space Knight race on Earth?"
Peter shook his head. “Of course not. Do you trust people so easily?”
"Others may not believe it, but if it's you, it's easy for me to believe it. After all, many incredible things have happened to you."
Helen thought again of the scene she saw in the Ghost Swamp a few days ago.
That is if it is really your future.
In the end, it seems that I have become this guy's subordinate?
Or partners?
Anyway, the relationship between the two seems to have become closer.
Standing in the ruins of New York City, he and Peter seemed to be the masters of the end of the world.
Is that really you?
Will I follow Peter and become the ruler of the world?
She glanced toward Peter.
Although I have a good impression of this guy, would we be that close?
She coughed, put down the photo in her hand, and shook off the random thoughts in her mind.
"I suspect these ships may be the space knights you mentioned. They released these creatures, the ancestors of the 'Queen', onto Earth, but were stopped by a group of blood-sucking creatures."
Helen picked out a photo and showed it to Peter.
This is a mural with a carving of what appears to be a blood-sucking creature.
She said to Peter, "These creatures are estimated to be six feet long and three and a half feet wide in the middle. The sides of the raised ridges are broken, and there seems to be a thin stem growing in the middle. The structure in the groove between the ridges is very strange, similar to a toothed comb or wings, which can be retracted or expanded like a fan. This is obviously different from modern vampires."
She made her own speculation, "Perhaps later generations of vampires went through a lot of changes to become what we are now."
"We need to go in and see the specific situation in person."
Helen spread all the photos on the table, picked up the cold coffee, and said to Peter: "What is certain is that vampires and aliens, you call them by that name, right? Vampires and aliens, there was a long-lasting war."
"And the result of the war is likely to be the destruction of both of their ethnic groups."
Listening to Helen's words, Peter nodded slowly.
He was a little impressed by the biology teacher.
Just by looking at a mural and a building, one can roughly guess what happened.
"Have you figured out how to get into the tunnel?"
Helen said to Peter: "If you have no other way to avoid alerting anyone, why not try my method."
"Of course."
Peter nodded and glanced at his wrist.
On his wrist he wears the mind watch given to him by Mr. Fantastic Reed.
"What method is more effective than my method of controlling people's minds?"
Helen asked curiously.
Peter said nothing and acted according to his thoughts.
The mind watch immediately projected several firefighters virtually.
Firefighters in fire suits pushed open the door and walked in. The leader shouted to everyone, "Hey, guys, there's a fire in the mall less than 300 meters away. You have to get out quickly for your own safety."
Helen and the other guests looked up in astonishment. Outside the window, white smoke seemed to be rising, and there was a faint glow of fire in the night.
Hearing the firefighters say this, the few customers in the cafe immediately stood up in fear and ran out of the door. Several firefighters made way for the crowd.
The crowd quickly disappeared accompanied by the sound of messy footsteps and people's complaints and dissatisfaction.
The entire cafe immediately became a quiet place with only two people.
Helen looked at the sudden change and wanted to stand up and leave.
But she soon noticed something was wrong.
When she saw the firefighters coming in just now, they clearly pushed open the glass door.
But why does the glass door close again when people leave?
She looked suspiciously at Peter, who was sitting opposite her, sipping coffee with a calm expression.
Was it Peter's doing?
Then, as she looked at them in confusion, the group of firefighters suddenly walked up to their coffee table.
"Thank you!"
Peter raised his coffee cup to express his gratitude to the firefighters.
Then, in Helen's stunned eyes, the firefighters smiled and gradually turned transparent in the air, their figures disappearing into the air.
"this!"
Even though Helen was knowledgeable and experienced, she was still shocked at this moment.
She looked at Peter with disbelief.
"What did you do? What happened?!"
Are these firefighters ghosts?
She did see ghosts, but they were in hell.
How is it possible to see these things from other dimensions in broad daylight?
Even in the Ghost Swamp, it was the perception provided by the "beast" in his body that allowed him to vaguely feel the ghost of the Wendigo.
Now how did Peter do that?!
"You are the devil?! Peter!"
She now began to suspect Peter's true identity, that he was some demon from hell.
Or maybe the being inside him is also a demon, just like himself.
Because only the devil could do that.
How many secrets does this guy have?
Peter didn't know that Helen had thought so much at this time. He said to Helen calmly: "As you can see, I have mastered a certain ability that can drive souls to work for me."
"is it?"
Helen calmed down at this time and began to think about the possibilities.
"Then summon a ghost for me now."
Peter nodded and decided to meet her request.
As he pictured in his mind the Wendigo ghost he had seen that night in the swamp.
A realistic three-dimensional Wendigo ghost is projected into the air.
Looking at the huge ghost that almost filled the entire cafe, Helen opened her mouth wide.
How can it be? !
She looked at Peter, "Are you really the devil? Peter?"
It was rare to see the beautiful teacher with this expression, so Peter decided to continue teasing her.
"That may not be certain."
As he spoke, he changed the images he sketched in his mind.
In Helen's sight, the cafe in front of her suddenly changed.
The bright lights suddenly disappeared, replaced by rising flames.
The wall covered with celebrity posters turned into a mountain top emitting thick smoke, with faint lightning rising in the distance.
Cracks appeared on the ground and countless black flames rose from the cracks.
An ominous aura immediately enveloped Helen's whole body.
She got goose bumps all over her body.
A strong sense of uneasiness instantly swept over her.
Taking a step back, she tried to avoid the growing gap.
It was obvious that I had come to hell!
This bastard!
She looked at Peter with a look of shock and anger.
He really is a devil from hell!
I didn't realize it for so long.
However, where Peter had been standing, he had disappeared.
Peter Parker, this bastard, sent himself to hell, and he ran away?
Horrified Helen raised her head and looked around.
But she soon realized something was wrong.
wrong
Why didn't she smell the smell of sulfur and corruption, and she could feel that the temperature around her didn't change.
Squatting down, she ran her fingers over the cracks in the flames.
The touch of my hand is the feeling of a soft carpet.
Helen: “?”
