Chapter 06: Page 6

"Well... they're all dead."

Lai Mu thought that human life span was limited, and he had been trapped in that unknown darkness for a long time, so the people he knew in the other world were probably all dead of old age. So he was just telling the truth.

Pepper's heart tightened, and she felt a little guilty. She opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.

I shouldn't have mentioned these things...Poor child, her family must have been killed by terrorists, and she is the only one left alive.

But even after going through such a tragic thing, she still looks so optimistic and lively.

As Pepper continued to work on herself, her eyes slowly turned red, and a little bit of emotion was brewing in her heart.

She couldn't help but reach out and rub Lai Mu's light blue hair. There was a little sand in her hair, which was not smooth, but made her look more pitiful.

Lai Mu held the hamburger tightly in his arms. What happened? Why did he suddenly move his hands?

/——————

My name is Phil Coulson, and I'm a special agent with the Strategic Homeland Defense Attack and Logistics Agency.

When you see this sentence, I have been working in this bureau with a very long name for more than 20 years.

He was an agent twenty years ago, and he is still an agent today, twenty years later.

For more than twenty years, I have been working under Nick Fury, working hard and without complaint.

I have worked hard from having a full head of black hair to being a little bald now, and Fury has also successfully become the director. It's really touching how time flies.

I am an experienced old agent. After working for so many years, gentleness is my creed in life and meticulousness is my principle in doing things.

Today I received another mission from Fury, asking me to investigate clues of illegal outflow of weapons from Stark Industries, the largest arms company in the United States; as well as the details of billionaire Tony Stark's escape from Afghanistan.

However, so-called billionaires are often difficult to get along with, and so are the people around them.

Originally, the information showed that Stark's personal assistant Pepper Potts was a relatively easy person to deal with, but no one knew where she ran off to.

So I tried to get some information from Stark's driver, Happy Hogan.

Now, as you can see, this burly man is pulling my collar roughly through the car window and yelling in my ear with his hamburger-smelling mouth.

"Nothing to tell you!!"

My name is Happy Morgan, I am a bodyguard and a driver only part time.

My professional ethics is to absolutely protect the safety of my employer! In addition to protecting the employer's life, I also have to protect the employer's secrets.

I will never tell anyone that my employer Tony Stark may have brought back an illegitimate daughter from Afghanistan. If it gets out, it will definitely bring a lot of trouble to my employer!

In addition, as a good friend of Tony, I am really happy for him. He has been wandering alone for so many years, and he will probably settle down in the future.

Yes, I can see from his eyes that Tony has changed. He has become more mature and stable.

Chapter 6. Grandpa... is so cute...

When Lai Mu and Pepper Potts returned to the villa, Pepper realized that she had forgotten to buy clothes for Lai Mu.

The whole day was filled with joy and sorrow, and she was very emotional. Then she learned that Stark was going to do something right after he came back, and Pepper hurriedly called around to help Tony Stark contact the press conference, which made her head explode.

It was not until he sent Lemu all the way to Stark's beach villa in Malibu that he remembered how to deal with him without a change of clothes.

This is simply a dereliction of duty for a professional personal assistant.

Xiao La Jiao tapped her forehead in annoyance, led Lai Mu into the door, pointed out the location of the bathroom, and whispered: "You take a shower first, I'll go buy clothes for you. There should be a stack of new towels in the bathroom, sealed in a vacuum bag, just take one."

Because Stark often brought women back home, he had a lot of backups of bathing equipment and other things.

"Yes, thank you, Ms. Potts. I'll pay you back later."

Lai Mu nodded politely.

After hearing what Lai Mu said, Pepper felt even softer.

What a pitiful little guy. Even though he has nothing and is homeless, he is unwilling to take advantage of others.

Pepper smiled gently, "It's a gift for you. It's free. Also, just call me Pepper."

She stretched out her hand to roughly estimate Lai Mu's height, and without giving Lai Mu a chance to refuse, she turned around and drove away in a hurry.

She is indeed a very gentle woman.

Laimu watched Pepper leave.

Then he raised his hand and patted his clothes. He had already cleaned them, but there was still a little bit of fine sand in the clothes, which was a local specialty from Afghanistan.

Because of the collision with Stark's Mark I, the clothes themselves were scratched by mechanical parts and had many cracks. Its only fate was probably to end up in the trash can.

Lai Mu's Predator has the ability to mimic and replicate, but this piece of clothing was torn before it was analyzed, and there is no corresponding material in the dimensional space. The clothes mimicked by the body always feel unreal.

Stark's villa looked magnificent, big and luxurious, but it could not attract Lei Mu's attention.

No matter how good something is, it doesn't belong to him. He only cares about things that belong to him.

Walking into the bathroom, Lai Mu took off his clothes and threw them aside. He turned on the shower skillfully, found the shower gel and shampoo, and took out a new towel.

He looked down at his body, which was delicate and fair, but... As expected, slimes have no gender.

But this did not make him too depressed, this world is Marvel, there are all kinds of black technology and black magic, as well as things like reality stones that can modify reality.

If that doesn’t work... tentacles... will do?

Lai Mu raised his left hand and looked at it. It was white and slender. Then his left hand slowly melted, and five transparent light blue tentacles stretched out from the fingers, swinging flexibly in the air. It looked a little bit like a restraint.

This is the instinct of slime.

When washing your hair, the sand in your hair can’t be washed out no matter what.

Lai Mu had an idea, and his whole body suddenly melted like a candle encountering flame, and soon turned into a pool of transparent light blue liquid.

The blue liquid squirmed a few times, clumped into a ball, and slowly returned to Lei Mu's human form, while sand fell to the ground.

I tilted my head back, and under the shower, I ran my fingers down my long hair, which was clean and as smooth as milk.

Staying in the enclosed bathroom, the whole slime relaxed.

This feeling is especially like when I was wandering alone in the past, with no relatives or friends, and I was always wary of everyone around me. Only when I returned to the hotel and locked the door could I have a moment of peace.

After taking a shower, I heard footsteps outside the door. It was Xiao Lajiao who came to buy clothes.

There was a light knock on the bathroom door, and a gentle voice sounded at the same time, "I've put your clothes at the door, remember to take them yourself. I bought you some snacks and put them on the table in the living room, you can eat them whenever you're hungry, you're welcome."

"Thank you, Pepper."

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. According to American custom, we often call people by their first names.

Lai Mu responded, waited for the footsteps to fade away, opened the door, took in the clothes, shook them and started putting them on.

As he dressed, he felt like something was... wrong?

Why is this dress so long? The style is weird, doesn't it come with pants?

Lai Mu looked at the mirror belatedly.

Is this... do we... know each other?

Standing in the mirror is a pretty girl, delicate and lovely, with a delicate and lovely figure.

The girl in the mirror was wearing a light blue short dress with tiny white lace on the edges. The sleeves reached her elbows, revealing half of her white arms. The hem reached her knees, and further down were her long, straight calves.

The same light blue long hair was wet and draped over her shoulders, her face was a moisture-colored pink, her skin was flawless and as tempting as cream.

Tiny drops of water hung on her long eyelashes, her amber eyes were wide open, her small lips were slightly parted, and her face was filled with surprise.

this is me?

Lai Mu couldn't help but stare at it for a long time, then touched his face dully, "Grandpa... so cute..."

Well, in short, you can’t show yourself in this state. You can’t be seen by others even if you die… Oh no, I should say that anyone who sees you will die.

Lai Mu swept his eyes across the bathroom, pulled off a large bath towel and wrapped himself up.

She opened the bathroom door and called out, "Pepper, I need your help."

"What's wrong? Don't you like the clothes?"

Pepper, who was sitting in the living room, ran over and saw Lai Mu hiding behind the bathroom door with only his head showing.

She seemed to be wrapped in a bath towel, and her timid appearance immediately broke through Pepper's psychological defenses, and she seemed to be healed. So she even lowered her voice by two notes, for fear of scaring her.

There are some cute things in this world that are so overflowing that they can drown people.

Lai Mu was a little embarrassed and whispered: "No, I bought the wrong one. I am, um, a man."

Not to mention the physical aspect, psychologically I consider myself a male.

Male? How could it be possible? The blonde secretary tilted her head and looked carefully for ten seconds... twenty seconds...

"Really? Anyway, could you please buy me a set of men's clothes... please..."

Lai Mu, contrary to his usual behavior, opened his eyes pitifully and stared at Pepper without blinking.

Those amber eyes seemed to have some kind of magic. Pepper's health bar was emptied instantly. She hurriedly agreed and drove out to buy it.

Skill Charm Humans get (thick fog).

Watching Pepper walk out the door, Lai Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It would take a long time to wait for the clothes to arrive, and he couldn't hide in the bathroom forever. He looked around and there was no one there anyway.

Lai Mu moved to the living room carrying a bath towel.

Entering the living room, there is a transparent glass wall opposite. Outside the wall is the endless sea, and you can seem to faintly hear the sound of waves.

A row of sofas are neatly placed against the wall, with a fireplace next to it, but it is not lit. Not far away is a piano, and in the corner on the other side are guitars and violins. It is full of life.

There was a large bag of snacks on the table in front of the sofa. It weighed about 10 to 20 kilograms. This was not just the "little" that Pepper said. They all looked like high-end goods.

Xiao La Jiao is a very easy-going person. She buys snacks by the dozens of kilograms. For foodies, she is simply the best friend.

Lai Mu sat down on the sofa and put the bath towel aside.

A mechanical arm squeaked over on a small pulley, holding a glass of water.
