As soon as he opened his eyes, the smoke pouring into his mouth and nose made Tom cough, and his body temperature was abnormally high. Tom got out of bed while coughing, and turned on the light.

Under the light, the room was full of lingering smoke, and there was a smell of something being burnt. There was a flickering fire in the crack of the door—the orphanage was on fire.

Amidst the screams one after another, Tom suddenly smiled.

Now, you don't need to make up reasons for the nuns, you can move out by yourself!

Tom grabbed his backpack and put it on his back, which still contained the money and revolver he had snatched yesterday. He stepped on his chair, stepped on the table and chairs, climbed up to the window sill, and opened the window.His room was on the third floor, and if he jumped from this height, even without a wand, he would be unharmed.

Tom looked at the ground, took a deep breath, adjusted his body, and thought about the most handsome posture to jump down.However, just before he jumped down, Nagini's sharp voice suddenly sounded: "Issuing mission 1, save the girl Molly trapped in the burning room. If the mission is successful, you will be rewarded with [-]% magic power recovery. If you fail the mission, you will suffer punish!"

Tom: "..."

If I knew I would have jumped off the window as soon as I opened it!

Gritting his teeth, Tom jumped back from the window sill and said angrily, "Recover one percent? What about you? That's all?"

"If you can't complete the task, you will need a month to recover even this one percent." Nagini said in a flat tone, "Compared to the heyday before being killed by Harry Potter, your magic power is only Zero-five percent at that time."

This number made Tom's face black as the bottom of the pot. He cursed: "Are you a fucking philanthropist system that specializes in doing good things?" He had no choice but to walk to the door and open the door of his room.

Knowing that Tom has accepted the task, the system prompts: "The room diagonally opposite to the left."

As soon as he opened the door, Tom's face hurt from the heat wave. He didn't know how the fire started. Now the fire has spread to half of the orphanage. There is no open fire on Tom's side, it's all choking smoke. And that half was almost engulfed in flames.

In the room pointed out by the system, even the door frame was burnt down.

"Are you asking me to go in and perform a charcoal-grilled living person?" Tom scolded as he rushed over. Before the fire truck came, almost all the people in the orphanage who could run had already run away. Tom could hear the faint cry, from The direction of that room was transmitted.

The road between the two rooms was already full of flames, and the wooden floor burned quickly. Tom waved his hand as he ran, and the flames blocking the path he had to pass parted, making way for him.

Tom stepped over the collapsed door frame, unable to see where the little girl was in the thick smoke, he yelled, "Lolita! Come out!"

Nagini: "...it's Molly."

The little girl's cries became clearer, and she didn't dare to come out for some reason, so Tom had to use magic to block the flames and search for the little girl in the narrow room.Soon he found her. She was very young, she looked like three or four years old, and she was shrinking under the desk because of fear, coughing twice because of the smoke from time to time, Tom pulled her out roughly, and shouted: "Don't cry! !"

Molly was startled, and sniffed timidly: "Are you here to save me?"

"Nonsense." Tom said impatiently, reaching out to pull the window.

Molly looked at the flames dancing around Tom in bewilderment. They avoided Tom as if they were alive. Tom was sweating profusely, and his black hair, which had just woken up, was already stuck to his head with sweat. Not only because of the heat, but also because the magic is about to be overdrawn.

The magic power is damaged, and the wand is not there. Tom is almost unable to hold on. If he doesn't get out quickly, he may also be burned to death.

Just as she was about to jump out of the window with Molly in her arms, Nagini said again: "You can't jump from here, she's too young, she'll die."

Tom: "..."

A group of orphanage children and nuns below were screaming, and Tom said sadly: "If I don't complete the mission, I will be punished. Just throw her down and die."

The words were spoken directly, and the little girl struggled in fear, and Tom snapped: "Don't move! Or I'll throw you down now!"

Fear made the little girl struggle more violently, Tom was about to let go impatiently, and suddenly heard the system say: "You should think about it, if you throw her down, half of your magic power will be wiped out, and you and the Muggles will also die." There is no difference."

Tom: "..."

Tom brought back Molly who had already been lifted out of the window by him with a blank expression, patted her on the head, and said without sincerity: "Lou Li, my brother is scaring you, don't move around, take her now." get out."

Looking outside the door where the fire was getting more and more intense, Tom gritted his teeth, squeezed out his little magic power, separated from the flames and rushed over.

After all, if the magic power is exhausted, it can be recovered. If it is deducted as Nagini said, it may be difficult to recover.

The wooden steps had been burnt to the point of crumbling. Tom walked down along the part that was not burned through. With one hand, he lifted his shirt to cover Molly's mouth and nose, so as not to choke the little girl to death before she went out.After struggling to reach the second floor, Tom's magic finally ceased to work, and the suppressed flame rebounded with greater momentum, burning Tom's trousers.

Tom patted it a few times quickly, and extinguished the flames before the fire started.However, due to this delay, the steps leading from the second floor to the first floor were burned through and collapsed with a bang.

Tom swore.

At the same time, beside the nuns who were anxiously waiting for the fire truck downstairs, a young man with a red mask and hood suddenly appeared.

He looked up at the sea of ​​flames in the orphanage, there seemed to be a shadowy figure on the second floor, and asked, "How many people are there?"

The nun, who had already counted the escaped children, sobbed, "And Tom and Molly, God, it's been so long..."

"Tom?" Peter was startled.

His house is not far from here, and the spider induction has made his five senses much stronger. Peter has just mutated for a week, and he still can’t control the five senses. The noise here makes it difficult for him to fall asleep. Thinking that maybe his ability can help, That's why I rushed over.

"Tom, Tom, Riddle." The nun cried out of breath.

Which Tom Riddle could there be in Queens?

Peter cursed, without hesitation, he rushed in like an arrow, before everyone present could react.

Regardless of whether his identity would be discovered, Peter yelled while avoiding flames and falling objects: "Tom! Tom Riddle! Where are you?"

Immediately, there was an angry response from the second floor: "Second floor! I'm trapped!"

Hearing this sound, Tom seemed to be doing well, and Peter quickly climbed up the unburned wall.The walls were hot and Peter felt like a piece of meat on the grill: "I'm coming! I'm coming! Hold on, Tom!"

Hearing Peter's voice, Tom knew he had been rescued. He held the little girl in his arms and stared at her with knife-like eyes: "You almost killed me, do you know that?"

Molly sniffled and burst into tears of grievance.

Tom felt no guilt at all about making the little girl cry, just as the girl's voice could still show Peter the way.Soon, Peter's nimble figure appeared in front of Tom—he climbed up the wall all the way, and Molly was so stunned that he couldn't even care about crying.

Seeing that his good friend was in a terrible sea of ​​flames, Peter didn't care much, and hugged Tom and the little girl together.

Tom: "...I think this pose is a bit out of place."

"It doesn't matter what time it is!" Peter saw that the window at the end of the corridor on the second floor was open. He rushed over with the two of them in three steps, jumped up, and passed the narrow window precisely. , Landing firmly, Tom didn't even feel much vibration.

Out of danger, the nuns swarmed towards the three people, Peter quickly put the two people down in his arms, and ran and jumped away.

Tom threw Molly into the arms of a nun like a hot potato, and pushed away another nun who was greeting her with care. He said impatiently, "I'm fine." After finishing speaking, he was about to chase in the direction Peter left.

I didn't want his hand to be held by Jenny suddenly, and the other party had tears on his face: "I'm sorry, Tom, you are a good boy, I shouldn't..."

Tom shook off Jenny's hand with a cold face.

Peter had just done a good deed, saved his friend, was in a good mood, and was walking home humming a song.

Suddenly someone slapped him behind him, and Peter was startled: "Hey!"

Turning around, it was Tom.

How did Tom get so close to me without me noticing it?Don't I have spider sense?Peter was very puzzled.

But after seeing Tom's face clearly, he burst out laughing, because just after running out of the fire, Tom's face was covered with black ashes, maybe because he wiped his face, his face was black and gray, just like a Coal digger.

"Stop laughing." Tom was not annoyed, but suddenly reached out to lift Peter's hood.

"Hey hey! Don't do this!" How could Peter let him succeed, he grabbed Tom's wrist, "Why do you treat your savior like this?"

Tom frowned. Peter's hand was so strong that it hurt him.

He withdrew his hand, put it in his pocket, and said slowly, "Peter Parker?"

Peter blinked.

"...Who is Peter Parker?" Little Spider tilted his head and asked innocently.

Tom rolled his eyes. "Peter, do you think I won't recognize your voice?"

Peter was shocked: "So you recognized me when you bought me a drink!"

Tom raised his eyebrows: "What do you think?"

Little Spider: "..."

Tom is an insincere, self-made villain.
