Marvel: The Twelve Spells

Chapter 43 The Kiss of the Night
After Gwen put down the phone, she froze in place, a message kept circling in her mind, and Luo Xia also disappeared from everyone's sight tonight?
Like her mysterious disappearance for a while...

The reason why Gwen disappeared is very simple, she is not an ordinary student, but Spider-Woman... Ordinary students will flee to a safe place when they encounter danger, and Spider-Woman will solve the danger.

So what was the reason for Luo Xia's disappearance?A lot of guesses surged up in Gwen's heart in an instant, but she couldn't judge the correct answer from them, because those were always assumptions and guesses, lacking strong evidence.

The court needs evidence when trying suspects who have committed many crimes. There is no reason for Gwen to suspect and maliciously speculate on Luo Xia just because of some "conspiracy theory" speculations of his own.

But Gwen can be sure of one thing, Luo Xia will not be an ordinary high school student...Those things that she didn't want to think about, now come to mind one by one.

More than a month ago, Luo Xia mysteriously appeared in the Osborne Building. No ordinary high school student could pass through the security system of the Osborne Building...and Luo Xia seemed to be looking for something in Osborne that day .

It was also because of curiosity that I followed Luo Xia, so I strayed into a laboratory and was bitten by a radioactive spider. After mutating, I gained power and became Spider-Woman.

Tonight Gwen learned about the existence of a superhuman born in Osborne...the Green Goblin.

Then it is obvious that there are many secrets in the Osborne Mansion, and Luo Xia, as the person who explores these secrets, is also very mysterious.

Luo Xia seems to have a strong personal force, which cannot be explained by excellent physical fitness.

In school, he used to easily lift the strong Fleischer with one hand, but Luo Xia is not a muscular man. As far as Gwen knows, he doesn't even have the habit of exercising.

And that night when Gwen explored Queens and fled the scene after an encounter with Peter's transformed spider orc, Gwen strayed into Lorsha's house.

When Luo Xia entered the living room, the two had a brief encounter. Before recognizing Luo Xia, Gwen went all out, but she didn't even touch Luo Xia's clothes. His speed was too fast. Human reflexes and speed...

Gwen has met many superheroes and criminals, but there is only one who can crush her in speed - the devil!
At that time, Gwen didn't doubt it. Her idea was that she was injured by the spider orc. It is estimated that the anesthesia in her body had taken effect and affected her speed.

But thinking about it now, there are many doubts. After the mutation, Gwen's strength and speed have far exceeded the limit level of human beings. Even if the speed is affected by various reasons, it is not comparable to a normal human being...

Gwen's memory is very good. Thinking of these things, what happened in Queens that night flashed before Gwen's eyes like a movie scene.

And that powerful energy fluctuation!
That night, Gwen was so alert because she felt the energy fluctuation nearby, that after Luoxia pushed the door, Gwen launched an attack before she could judge who was coming.

Thinking of these, Gwen couldn't help frowning.The past is like a ball of thread with a lot of thread ends. If you carefully sort out and review it, you can get a lot of gains.

Of course, based on these doubts and clues alone, Gwen can't confirm Luo Xia's identity, or the connection between Luo Xia and the devil.

You can't conclude that the devil and Luo Xia are the same person just because they both have black hair, right?

It is very likely that one day in the future, she will be able to find evidence to prove her guess... But the conclusion will not be confirmed until then.

But once the idea and setting of "Lorshaw is a devil" came into being, Gwen couldn't help but associate it.

Gwen thought, if the person under that devil mask was really Luo Xia, then all her doubts would be answered.

Even her new doubts tonight were answered—why did the devil make a steel spider suit for her?Why would the unscrupulous devil let Peter who was protected by her go?

Because the devil once took off her spider mask, he knows that Spider-Woman is Gwen Stacy's...so the devil will present her with a steel spider suit, and will put down his attacking hands...

Moreover, the devil and Luo Xia have similarities in character and style, they both advocate violence so much, and have no awe of justice.

But after thinking about it, Gwen also found an obvious difference. Demons are disordered, and there is a madness hidden in the chaos, with a killing heart.

And Luo Xia is not as talkative as a devil, his heart is indifferent, and can even be described as cold.He also has a warm side when it comes to Gwen.

He is not as crazy as the devil, but more serious.

Although Luo Xia does not believe in justice, he does not belong to evil...

Suddenly Gwen cut off her association.

Once doubts and guesses arise, it is like planting seeds in the mind, and they will soon take root and sprout into towering trees in constant associations.

Gwen didn't want to think about this anymore, because it seemed that these were fruitless things now, she took out her mobile phone and dialed Luo Xia's number.

Suddenly, an idea popped up in Gwen's mind—or no matter how many guesses, it would be better to ask in person. Spider-Woman and the devil are not enemies, and she and Luo Xia are not.

After a few beeps, the phone was connected.

"Where are you? I miss you, Lorsha." Gwen said softly.

"Parking lot." Luo Xia's gentle voice came from the phone, "I remember we separated for less than half an hour."

"It's very close to danger..."

"It's all right now." Luo Xia turned his head and saw the flashing police lights through the car window. "The police sealed off the scene. I saw your father just now."

"Then why didn't you say hello to him?" Gwen complained.

"Because you're not with me," Lorshaw replied with a smile. "If Mr. George asks, 'How did you lose Gwen?' How should I answer?"

"Well... that's true. Fortunately, you didn't go to see him just now." Gwen bit her lip, "Now you don't need to move, I'll go find you, and don't hang up, I want to hear your voice..."

The two met in the parking lot, and embraced tightly in front of the old Ford car under the snow-white headlights.

"I'm worried about you, I miss you very much." Gwen buried her head in Luoxia's arms and said, her voice was a little muffled.

"It should be because I was worried about you, because you suddenly disappeared." Luo Xia said calmly.

Gwen suddenly raised her head, she opened her eyes and looked at Luo Xia's face carefully, those black eyes, the high bridge of the nose...

"You don't seem to have doubts, no doubts...Luo Xia, don't you want to ask me about my sudden departure just now?"

"No." Luo Xia also looked into her eyes and said seriously: "I think, if you want me to know something, you will tell me on the right day."

Luo Xia's words dispelled all Gwen's doubts and guesses in an instant.

Gwen stood on tiptoe and kissed Luo Xia.

The two kissed each other in the night, Luo Xia put his arms around Gwen's waist, and Gwen responded fiercely...
