What is it like to study at Midtown High School?

Allen frowned and looked at the huge clock. After a long time, he suddenly yawned: "Well... what a poor guy."

Is this talking about the time mage?Well, this legendary figure is indeed a tragedy.

Doctor Strange frowned: "Don't you want your power back? Ulo once said before being exiled that the inscription on this clock is the key to mastering the mystery of time."

Allen waved his hand boredly: "Isn't this a scam! He couldn't stand himself and committed suicide, and wanted to drag me into the water."

Doctor Strange didn't seem to be able to accept Alan's frivolous criticism of his idol, and frowned tightly: "But, in this case..."

"Then what's the matter with Alan's body?" I was still thinking about this matter, and when the doctor suddenly fell silent, I quickly interrupted to ask questions.

Doctor Strange looked at me: "I don't know why he resisted his ability subconsciously. In fact, the body of ordinary people can't bear the power of time. If he continues like this, in the end... the fragments of Ouroboros will die and flow into the frontier of nothingness."

"That means... Allen won't die, right?" I asked cautiously.I probably know why Alan resisted his abilities, but I don't want to mention that at all.

"No, he is at most a weak and sick ordinary person." Although his tone sounded a little cold, the doctor still said what he wanted to hear.

I let out a long breath—Alan is fine.But when he looked up, he saw Doctor Strange, who was not in a good mood, so he quickly expressed his condolences: "Doctor, how are you doing?"

Doctor Strange shook his head: "This is the punishment I deserve. It will be good to rest for about a year. Meera is taking care of me."

The words have come to this point, and it seems meaningless to continue. After sitting for a few minutes, Doctor Strange asked Meera to take us back. Before leaving, he asked us: "Ulo's clock, you want to take it away. ?"

Allen shook his head again and again: "Where do I want such a big thing? ——And, don't let me die if you're so good!"

So it was laughed off.

Mela sent us to the door, and I looked back at the huge house where there was only Mela, a little girl and a seriously ill father, and suddenly felt a little uneasy: "Meira, you are alone..."

Before I could finish, Meera said, "It's okay. It's best not to spread the word about Daddy's injury, and I think we'll be moving soon."

"Moving?" Allen interrupted. "Where?"

Meera's 12-year-old face revealed the serenity of a 16-year-old girl, which I have never seen before: "Alan, Spider-Man, I have had nightmares every night recently, but I can't remember dreaming What, that's not common."

Thinking of Meera's abilities, Allen and I looked at each other with serious expressions.

Meera stared at us for a while, and finally, as if she had made a big decision, she said firmly: "The days ahead will not be very peaceful, you all have to be careful." Then she looked at Alan, "Alan, I still I can't see your future."

Allen smiled frivolously: "Deepness is the basic quality of an adult."

On the way back, it suddenly snowed lightly. This was the first snow this year. Allen and I decided to walk back slowly without waiting for the car. Fortunately, the hot dog stand on the side of the road was still open dutifully, and we walked away with a hot dog each. On the road, the ice-like silence seemed to melt a little in the snow.

I secretly looked at Allen, he was still a little shorter than me, thin and handsome, not like Uncle Ben, not like May, and certainly not like me, there is no doubt that he did not have the characteristics of the Parker family—especially After his hair color has completely turned snow white, if you take a closer look, his original blue eyes have also faded to the grayish blue of the early winter morning sky.

Or would he be like Ouroboros?Even if he didn't want to, he was becoming a fragment of Ouroboros.

To be honest, I haven't fully digested what Doctor Strange said.Mage Time, this person who is longed for by the doctor's description, who is close to God, finally chose to commit suicide, and, before he died cleanly, his fragment is now on my dearest brother?

After narrowly slamming into a utility pole, I finally decided to be the first to say, "Ahem... Ellen, did I tell you? One day I'll finish work—you know what that means, I wanted to buy a hot dog on the side of the road to fill my stomach, but I was turned into a pig by the rocky hot dog stall owner who went down to experience life. Yes, it is the one that can snort and has a long tail. In the end, Sam and the others laughed at me A month of Spider-Man!"

Allen smiled, and my heart stopped, as if I saw the snowflakes in his gray-blue eyes melt.

Allen took a bite of the hot dog and asked, "Why does it seem that Sam and the others don't do activities with you much now?"

I shrugged: "The team is disbanded, the Aegis course is over, Coulson decided to let us try flying solo, so Sam and Rocket Raccoon went to defend the galaxy, Danny returned to Kunlun, Luke and him Parents reunited and enjoying the love of father and mother, Ava didn’t know which jungle to venture into—you see, they left me alone.”

"Fart." Allen raised his eyebrows, "The Avengers have looked for you too, right?"

"Um... yes." I rubbed my nose embarrassedly. I did see several Avengers on the Aegis aircraft carrier in the early days. They were all unattainable idols for me before. I throw an olive branch and ask if I want to join the Avengers!

"You agreed?" Allen didn't raise his eyebrows this time, but squinted.

"No." I honestly shook my head.

"Why? I remember that Peter Parker is a super fan of the Avengers?" Allen took a big bite of the hot dog, dipping a ring of cheese sauce around his mouth.

I took out a pack of tissues from my trouser pocket and handed it to him, and then thought about my mentality at the time: "There is no special reason. I really admire the Avengers, but suddenly one day I was asked to be an Avenger. Seems weird. Like...it’s normal for Leonard to win an Oscar, but if he wins an Oscar when he’s still Jack, it feels—weird. Besides, I have my team.”

Allen didn't comment much on my reasons, he just wiped his face with a tissue and started eating hot dogs again.

I couldn't stand it anymore, so I had to hold him back, wipe the corners of his mouth clean, and then suddenly thought of a question: "Alan, you...do you know what kind of person Ouroboros is?"

Allen said without hesitation: "A pervert who got bored with his job, looked for excitement, and then killed himself."

I broke into a sweat, wondering if I should remind Alan that he is a part of this pervert, and after thinking about it for a second, I thought it shouldn't be——Alan is Alan, and it doesn't have much to do with the Time Mage!

Alan glanced at me suddenly: "Don't expect me to remember too much, that old guy's memory can't be stored in a random 2T hard drive, I only have the capacity of one USB flash drive here - and as long as I don't want to remember, I can forget."

I quickly shook my head to express that I didn't have much interest in Time Mage, and asked instead: "What is the border of nothingness?"

Allen thought for a while and replied: "That is a collection of broken time and space. All the collapsed universes have thrown their fragments there. Time does not exist there, but in some legends of magicians, Ouroboros was born There."

Well, the topic is back to Ouroboros.

Allen stuffed the package of the hot dog to me, wiped his mouth and asked, "You don't seem to be surprised that I don't want to get Ulo's ability back?"

Have it?At that time... I wasn't really surprised, because I knew better than anyone that although the time mage was very powerful, that ability... had always been very resistant to Allen.

But that's not what I should bring up again, and I've adopted another reason: "The only thing I'm worried about is your body."

Allen seemed to pat Snowflake on his shoulder boredly: "Yeah, I've been a complete useless from now on."

I just smiled, reached out and stopped the first taxi along the way, and stuffed Alan, whose face was getting paler from the cold, into the car.

Allen complained: "Hey, you don't need to start being an old mother?"

I put my arms around Allen's shoulders: "But you are a little bastard, a weak and sick little bastard."

"Hey, where's the grid-headed compassion?"

"You lied to me again and again, and you played dead again and again. All the soft tricks against you are useless."

"..."

"No cold war anymore?"

"Obviously you provoked it first."

"Ok?"

"you."

"... When will that thing die?" I hugged Allen tightly.

"I don't know, it's been half-dead all along, but it shouldn't take long." Allen suddenly smiled, "Peter, do you know why I can't study at all?"

"……lazy?"

"Fuck your sister." Allen grinned, "Because concentrating is improving my mental strength for me."

Yes, he is unwilling to improve his abilities, and he subconsciously suppresses his instincts.

"Wow, that's a really good reason to explain your final grade."

Allen smiled indifferently, then leaned against me and closed his eyes.

I stared blankly for a moment, then looked down at Alan, the face of an insomniac, my brother, how many years had he been alone in his pain for an unknown amount of time?I remembered that night Uncle Ben held the hands of the two of us and told us that "with great power comes great responsibility". It turned out that he was not reminding me, but wanted to point out the direction for Allen.

Alan and I leaned together, with the soul of a suicidal mage sandwiched between us. I sincerely hope that he can rest in peace as soon as possible, and then Alan can gain the tranquility he has never had for a long time.

The author has something to say:

Small Theater: Isn't Ouroboros the World Serpent?Isn't the world snake Jormungandr?Isn't Yermungandr the son of Loki?then……

Loki: Damn it!Kill me that sledgehammer!

Allen:? ? ?

Ulo: Don't get involved with me, the Greeks, about your Norse gods! (Ouroboros is a serpent in Greek mythology)

Well, yesterday a friend pointed out that Ouroboros’ suicide was not very clear. Let me explain here that Ouroboros was not stopped by his future self, but swallowed by his future self.Because Ulo entered his own timeline, not a certain universe, there are infinitely many Ulos in the "time", he wants to obliterate all his past selves, but this is "highly illogical", so Triggered backlash from all future selves, like ouroboros.However, this setting is brain-twitching enough, it is purely personal imagination, and has no physical basis...
