Chapter 1234 Cloak and Dagger

The Hero Association headquarters building was unusually quiet at night.

There were no lights, no guards, and not even any pedestrians around.

It's like a dead city, or a giant dragon lurking in the darkness waiting for its prey.

Hell Raven stood on the top of a tall building in the distance, looking at the silent headquarters of the Hero Association from afar: "...Strange, it's impossible that even the security personnel have evacuated?"

"Is it just right that everyone is having a holiday?" The ghost spider next to her was squatting on the edge of the roof, and the night wind was blowing her hood constantly.

The Hell Raven looked at her silently without saying a word.

"Okay, okay, I'm just trying to liven up the atmosphere."

Gwen also became more talkative when she transformed into Ghost Spider:

"It seems that the Hero Association also knows that it is facing a disaster this time, so it temporarily dismissed all the staff to take shelter?"

"It's useless. This Hero Association headquarters building has become a symbol. Even if President Suzan and all the Hero Association staff escape from here, if the building is destroyed by those super villains, the reputation of the Hero Association will still collapse instantly and further trigger an extremely serious chain reaction.

By then, superheroes will no longer be trusted by the government and the public, because they cannot even protect their own homes and may even give them up.

The world will enter a completely chaotic era.”

Gwen's eyes widened when she heard Heather's analysis: "Then why does the Hero Association have to set a time to announce the list of superheroes and supervillains?"

"Faith. Just like you, you became Ghost Spider, a good neighbor in New York, without asking for anything in return, just for the faith and sense of responsibility in your heart. The Hero Association also has its own persistence."

Hell Raven looked at the dark Hero Association building in the distance and was silent for a few seconds before continuing:
"I guess that President Suzhan is still in the headquarters building. I have seen that man, and he is definitely not the kind of person who would flee from a battle."

Ghost Spider stopped talking.

If she were still alone, she would really do her best to protect the Hero Association for the sake of justice in her heart.

But now the person she loves is here with her, and she came here at her invitation. If Heather gets hurt in the battle because of her, or even... Gwen will never forgive herself.

Just as she looked up and was about to say something, an armor-covered hand gently pressed her shoulder.

"Don't underestimate me. I am the man you like after all."

Heather's gentle voice came to Gwen's ears:
"If the situation is not right, then let's run. Don't worry, the mobility of the Berserker Armor is enough to ensure that I can take you away from the battlefield safely. And you have to promise me not to act rashly."

Grabbing the hand on her shoulder, Gwen nodded vigorously.

After determining the target and the retreat route, Ghost Spider's mood became significantly better. He looked around and said, "Are we the only two here? I have a bad feeling that there will be a lot of enemies."

The Hell Raven suddenly raised its head and leapt in front of the Ghost Spider.

Soon, a beam of light flashed in the dark clouds in the distance, and the light quickly enlarged and came to the rooftop where the raven and the spider were.

The visitor was a young blonde woman wearing a white tight-fitting dress with a stand-up collar. The space between her chest, abdomen and neck formed an inverted dagger shape, revealing her fair skin and muscle lines. There was also a crescent pattern formed by a ray of light next to her right eye on her beautiful face, and she wore earrings in the shape of light shuttles.

The woman stepped on a dagger made of light, flew into the air above the roof, and jumped lightly to the ground.

"Who are you?" Ghost Spider felt like he was facing a formidable enemy when he saw this woman.

She knew Heather's XP. The woman in front of her had an outstanding figure and appearance, not to mention the revealing tights... How shameful it was that she actually wore such ridiculous clothes so openly!
The Hell Raven turned its head slightly, and looked behind the woman with scarlet eyes: "...Come out."

"You have a keen eye for observation." The blonde woman smiled and waved behind her: "Cloak, say hello?"

The darkness behind her quickly solidified into a dark-skinned man wearing a huge black cloak. His cloak floated in the night sky like black mist, and he stared coldly at the Hell Raven.

Seeing that her partner had no intention of speaking, the blonde shrugged. "Sorry, this guy doesn't like to communicate with others. His name is Cloak, and mine is Dagger. Our team is called 'Cloak and Dagger'... Uh, you've heard of it, right?"

Upon hearing the title, Heather immediately remembered their related information.

Cloak and Dagger, a new hero duo that debuted not long ago. The two of them were not ranked on the hero list, only the duo "Cloak and Dagger" was on the list, ranking 18th in Class B.

"I've heard of you two, 'Ghost Spider' and 'Hell Raven' from Nocturnal Beasts, right? Your looks are so unique, much cooler than the two of us."

Dagger was unexpectedly talkative: "Based on Ghost Spider's style, I guess you must be here to help the Hero Association overcome its difficulties. The same goes for us, do you want to lend a hand to each other?"

Ghost Spider turned his head and looked at Hell Raven, who was silent for a while and nodded.

Dagger saw this and immediately realized that the leader of this group of heroes named "Nocturnal Beasts" was Hell Raven instead of the long-famous Ghost Spider. They looked like a couple...

After establishing a preliminary cooperative relationship, Dagger and Cloak briefly and frankly talked about their abilities. Of course, it was Dagger who was talking, and Cloak was just floating in the air as a background.

Dagger can use light energy to condense a dagger of light. She can control the dagger of light to fly and perform long-range attacks. She herself is a very rare auxiliary healing ability user.

The cloak can teleport the target (usually only the dagger) by connecting itself to the dark force dimension, or it can use the dark force channel to create a dark energy field near its body, causing all creatures entering the dark energy field to be attacked by powerful illusions until they become insane.

Compared to the usual superheroes with great strength, Cloak and Dagger are very interesting and supportive superhumans. Because of their slightly lower attack power, they are not ranked very high.

Seeing that the other party spoke frankly about his abilities, the Nocturnal Beast could no longer remain silent.

"I can shoot spider silk to move at high speed in three dimensions. Well, I'm very strong, so I can easily lift a car off the ground."

Ghost Spider, who is usually very talkative, stuttered a bit when it came to introducing himself:

"From the looks of it, you can tell that Raven has strong defenses, can fly, and has considerable strength."

Dagger said "Wow" and asked with a smile: "Are you two a couple?"

"Ah... yes, that's right." Ghost Spider scratched his cheek through the mask a little shyly: "What about you guys?"

"Same." Dagger looked at the cloak beside him with a smile, and the latter wrapped the black mist-like cloak around Dagger's outstretched hand.

Ghost Spider then breathed a sigh of relief.

"……somebody is coming."

Suddenly, Cloak and Hell Raven gave warnings at the same time.
