Chapter 133

~8 min read 1,524 words

Ye Li ruffled her... hair.

"Grown a bit taller again..."

Wuennn...

Click.

Ye Li opened the car door for Matilda, and the two, one big and one small, walked toward the abandoned old building inside.

Darcy was waiting there early. Seeing the two arrive, she showed a joyful expression and said.

"Li, you came pretty fast. Quickly tell me what's going on with Jane. We detected a phenomenon here that seems to be a wormhole. Do you think it could be..."

Beside her, there was also a boy in a hat and three children in their early tens.

The boy in the hat curiously peeked at Ye Li and his sister, muttering softly, "Why is there a kid here too..."

"Hey, are you looking down on kids?" The ten-year-olds nearby heard him and were displeased.

"He is...?"

Ye Li had some impression of the intern next to Darcy, but couldn't remember his name.

"My intern."

Darcy introduced Ian to him, her tone quite helpless. "Oh... he's too clumsy. He actually threw the car keys into that wormhole just now. If you hadn't come over, even if Jane hadn't gone missing, we would have had to take the bus back..."

"Hehe..."

Ian scratched his hat in embarrassment. "Hello, my name is Ian. Are you a doctor too?"

"Hello, Ian.

I am a doctor.

But in the arts department."

Ye Li greeted him politely, then leaned over to Darcy and whispered.

"You found a male intern...?"

"What's wrong?"

Darcy blinked. "If you're not happy, I can change him~ anyway, he's so clumsy."

"I'm not that petty.

Let's go, let's go see Jane."

Ye Li took the lead.

He walked toward the higher floors first.

Darcy followed closely behind, chattering beside him, "Do you know where Jane is? How did you know?"

Ye Li brushed her off casually and asked her in return.

"How did I find you guys back in New Mexico? And how did I help you find Thor?"

"Oh~"

Darcy had an expression of sudden realization. "You mean... the special intuition you told Jane about! A kind of powerful gut feeling?"

As a researcher, she shouldn't have believed in such... ethereal, metaphysical things like intuition.

But since the person saying it was the man she liked, and his words had proven true before, she naturally believed it.

After all, didn't Norse gods like Thor exist?

Darcy believed.

Ian, however, listened with skepticism: [Is this an arts PhD or a mysticism PhD?]

[Darcy must be head-over-heels for this man's face; she should be calling the police right now...]

Even if he is an arts PhD.

·· ·Asking for flowers·· ······

It doesn't seem to match their major...

The Mind Stone on Ye Li's bracelet flashed, sensing Ian's thoughts, and he thought with amusement.

[Never mind the major, your mentor and I are very compatible...]

"Speed it up!"

"Hurry up!"

"See that monster?

If you don't want to die, run!"

"Forget about your things!"

Ruins of the Midtown Hospital in Manhattan.

S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and other government personnel were organizing the evacuation.

....... ......... 0

However.

Not everyone was willing to leave—

"No! My house!

The loan was almost paid off!"

"My brand new car!"

"My clothing store!"

"Do you want to die?" Melinda saw these stubborn people didn't know the severity of the situation and shouted at them angrily: "There could be an accident here at any moment! If you're not afraid of death, then stay!"

"Officer!!"

At this moment, a staff member holding a detection instrument ran to her side and reported: "The readings show that guy is becoming unstable! It's very likely about to explode!!"

"How much time left?"

"Estimated about a minute and a half, the energy inside the target will reach its peak!"

"What?! How so fast?"

Melinda looked at the large group of civilians who hadn't been evacuated yet, gritted her teeth, and decisively said: "Notify all personnel, retreat immediately!"

Whoosh—!

A black, white, and pink figure suddenly leaped out from the shadows on the side of the street building and stuck to the wall of the building opposite.

It was Ghost-Spider.

Gwen hung down with a web, slid to Melinda's side, and asked: "I heard it's going to explode here?"

"Ghost-Spider?"

Melinda's face brightened slightly, and she immediately explained the situation on the scene to the newly arrived Gwen.

Although she felt that Ghost-Spider couldn't save many people either, saving a few more was always better.

"So that's how it is..."

Gwen roughly understood the situation and, knowing the urgency, jumped back into the shadow on the opposite side with a swoosh.

Appearing again.

It was already in another shadow in the distance.

Ability: Shadow Travel.

After a period of training, Gwen was already quite proficient in using this ability.

After leaping out of the shadow.

She shot webs from her wrists, and the tips of the four mechanical claws extending from her back also shot webs, instantly sticking to a total of six civilians.

"What is she trying to do?"

Melinda and the rescue workers were all a bit confused seeing Gwen's actions.

Was she trying to run away with six people at once?

"What is Ghost-Spider trying to do?"

The civilians had the same thought.

"Nonsense, Ghost-Spider is definitely saving people!"

"But can she carry so many people?"

"Saving more is better than saving fewer! Don't you want to live? That glowing giant monster clearly looks like it's about to explode!"

"I know she's anxious to save people, but isn't she being too greedy? At this rate, her escape speed isn't even as fast as me riding a bike..."

Just as the civilians were running and discussing.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—

Whoosh whoosh—

Whoosh—

"Ahhhhh! Help!"

"Why are you throwing me!?"

"Help!"

"I don't want to die! Mom!"

Gwen tossed them one by one with her hands and back mechanical claws, actually throwing all six of them toward a building wall.

This action immediately caused the crowd witnessing it to explode—

"My god! What is she doing!?"

"These people are going to fall to their deaths!"

"Did Ghost-Spider mess up?"

"But she clearly did it on purpose!"

"How is that possible! My goddess is so gentle! How could she do such a thing! This is impossible!"

"This Ghost-Spider must be an impostor!"

"That's right!

It must be some villain trying to frame her!"

The Ghost-Spider fans in the crowd couldn't accept it for a moment seeing Gwen's bizarre actions!

But there were also fanatical fans shouting—

"Ghost-Spider doing this!

Must have her reasons!"

"Reasons my ass!"

A thug with a face full of metal studs, who clearly wasn't very bright, retorted: "I think this bitch has gone crazy!!"

"What did you say?"

"Looking for a beating!"

Several sturdy fans were displeased, and someone even punched him while running!———

"Ow!"

The noisy chatter of the crowd erupted almost simultaneously, but in reality, less than a few seconds had passed.

And the six people thrown by Gwen had just touched the shadow-covered building wall.

Pop~ pop~ pop~

The shadow rippled like water, and one by one, the people were swallowed into it, and in no time, they were all gone...

"What's going on?"

"Where did the people go?"

The crowd was stunned.

"I get it... seeing her new ability to travel through shadows, I should have guessed!"

Melinda saw the trick and said pleasantly: "I didn't expect her to be able to teleport others through shadows. With this ability, many people can be saved!"

On the other side.

Ghost-Spider Club.

Whoosh!

"Ahhhhh!!"

In the shadow corner of the bar, a man screamed and suddenly flew out of the shadow———

Peter was quick-witted and caught the man flying out in one go...

"Hey, buddy, where did you come from?"

"Ahhhhh! Ah... ah?"

The man being held stopped screaming and opened his eyes. "Huh? I'm not dead?"

"Peter! There's more!"

Ned pointed at the shadow, where several more people flew out one after another———

"What?"

Peter was busy and flustered.

Finally, he just had the club staff bring over several safety mats and placed them in the landing area for these people.

Boom~ boom~ boom~

One by one, people were tossed out of the shadows.

After they calmed down and communicated with the club staff to understand the situation.

They all expressed their gratitude to Ghost-Spider!

Some even signed up for membership on the spot.

Becoming new members of the club!

"This is it."

Relying on the sensor of the gem on his bracelet.

Ye Li easily found the place where Jane disappeared. Finally, there was a gem he got himself.

Uh... that doesn't seem right...

Seems like it has to be taken from Jane...

In a sense...

It was still the girl helping him get it...

"This is it?"

Ian stared blankly at the empty corridor. Besides fallen leaves on the ground, what else was there?

"Is your brother really that amazing?"

"Yeah!"

Over here.

Matilda was chatting warmly with the three ten-year-olds, pulled out a lady's cigarette, and handed it to the little girl she was closest to. "Want a smoke~"

"Uh..."

The little girl was stunned. Is she this social...
