Comic: Becoming a Phantom Thief to Steal Hearts

After doing all this, Peter fell asleep, but fortunately, after a blanket search by Lucas and Gwen, they still found him.

"Hiss...it's so hot." Lucas was shocked as soon as he touched Peter. Peter's body temperature was completely abnormal at this moment. Even if he had a fever, he wouldn't have such an outrageous body temperature.

"Hospital...I'm going to call an ambulance!" Gwen grabbed the phone and said in a panic.

"Wait a minute, don't rush to the hospital yet." Lucas looked serious, "Peter's condition may not be as bad as we thought."

"What do you mean?"

"Calm down and take a good look at Peter now." Lucas said, his calm tone soothed Gwen at this moment and made her calm down again.

And when she looked at Peter seriously again, she found that although Peter's exposed skin turned red, his breathing was very gentle, the expression on his face was very peaceful, and he did not show any discomfort.

"But... I can't risk Peter's life." Gwen clenched her fists, "What if... what if..."

"Uh...uh..." Peter struggled to open his eyes.

"Gwen...Lucas..." He covered his head and sat up.

"Are you ok?"

"Well..." Peter was still a little confused, and after a few seconds he replied: "It's okay... I was bitten by a spider before."

"Spider? Could it be an escaped experimental spider?" Lucas frowned, "If that's the case, it's hard to say what the sequelae will be."

"Hot..." Peter stood up unsteadily, turned on the faucet and washed his face, "Much better."

Under the influence of the cool water, Peter's red skin also faded a lot.

"Is it really okay?" Gwen asked worriedly, "Is there any discomfort?"

"It feels..." Peter squinted his eyes, looked at himself in the mirror, and then took off the glasses on his face. He opened his eyes wide and the world was so clear, "My short-sightedness is gone?!"

Is it the same as at that time?

Lucas thought this and asked cautiously: "Peter, besides your eyesight getting better, can you see something else?"

"Something else?" Peter repeated confused, then shook his head.

He even felt very good, better than ever before, and his whole body was full of strength, just like when he used the Persona in the palace.

"I feel quite relaxed now." Peter took out a tissue from the side and wiped the water from his face.

But just when he was about to throw away the tissue, he found that the tissue seemed to be stuck to his hand and he couldn't shake it off.

"What's going on?" Peter exclaimed, and his fast-moving hand accidentally touched the wall on one side.

"Boom"

There was a muffled sound, and several people stared at the cracks in the wall with their mouths open.

"I I...I didn't mean it!" Peter stammered.

"Why would Peter also..." Gwen was also very surprised. The power Peter showed now was no longer something humans could possess.

This is the wall of the Osborne Group, and the light quality will definitely not be cut off, not to mention that this is just the strength of Peter's hand.

"I don't know!" Peter was completely confused.

"Why are you all here?" Harry heard the movement here and walked in doubtfully, only to see all three of them staying here.

"Besides, Peter, I've been looking for you for a long time." Harry looked at Peter accusingly.

"I'm sorry..." Peter said guiltily.

As soon as Peter finished his apology, Lucas continued, "Peter suddenly feels unwell and has started to have a fever."

As soon as Peter showed an incomprehensible expression, he received a vague elbow from Lucas and instantly put on a mask of pain.

"Yes, sorry Harry, we may have to go back early." Gwen said cooperatively and apologetically.

Harry didn't expect that things would turn out like this, but it was clear that nothing was strange about Peter when he was with him just now.

When Harry's suspicious eyes came over, Peter was grinning because of Lucas's hard blow. At the same time, because the high temperature had just subsided, there was still a blush on his face, and it really looked like that.

Harry, who felt something was wrong, didn't want to embarrass his friend, so he smiled slightly and said, "Well, in that case, you should go back early and have a good rest Peter."

"what?"

"gone!"

Peter, who had not yet figured out the situation, was hurried away by Gwen and Lucas.

Looking at the backs of the three people noisily clinging to each other, Harry lowered his eyes, the shadows of his eyelashes showing a trace of loneliness.

How could Harry, who was as sensitive as he was, not feel it? He was implicitly excluded from this small group. Young people's emotions were too fragile, and Harry, who had lacked care since he was a child, was even more paranoid.

The hands hanging by his sides were clenched suddenly, and the neatly manicured nails left traces of blood on the soft palms.

On the other side, due to the sudden surge in strength, Peter was afraid of hurting his friends and did not dare to move at all. From being dragged away to being loaded into a taxi heading to the Impression Space, everything was motionless.

"Go to Impression Space."

[Navigating...The destination has been reached. ]

It wasn't until the surrounding environment changed into the Gate of Hell that Peter blinked, "Can I move?"

"Please." Lucas waved his hand, "Tell us what happened just now."

"I...was bitten by a mutated spider."

"What?!" Gwen raised her eyebrows, "Do you know how dangerous this is? What if... that spider is highly poisonous!"

"I...didn't you notice..." Peter shrank his head pitifully.

"Pay attention next time." Lucas held his forehead helplessly.

He said: "Now that the matter is over, it seems that Peter himself has mutated because of the mutant spider. Thinking about it on the bright side, at least he didn't grow eight legs and sixteen pairs of eyes, right?"

Peter and Gwen both shuddered and said in unison: "Don't imagine it like that!"

"Okay." Lucas shrugged.

He obviously means it sincerely, think of Poison Ivy and Man-Bat.

"The impression space is just the right place to test your abilities. This place is not afraid of you destroying it," Lucas said.

Thinking of the cracks he had made in the bathroom of the Osborne Group, Peter touched his nose guiltily, "What a genius idea, Lucas."

"The first item is super power." A wise light flashed under Lucas' mask, "Don't use the persona to smash the boulder in front of you."

"Oh...oh!" Peter turned his wrist, clenched his fist, and hit the boulder. The sound of breaking the sound barrier sounded, and the boulder shattered in response.

"OK, the second item, super speed." Lucas took out a booklet from nowhere and recorded it, "Use all your strength and run."

……

Peter tested the items one by one according to the items given by Lucas, and in the end, Lucas's booklet was filled with memories.

"The strength is beyond the standard, the speed is average, there is a certain self-healing ability, the sensitivity is beyond the standard, and I am suspected of having some kind of sixth sense..."

Lucas wrote down his guess, raised his head and saw Peter's resentful eyes.

He said quietly: "This is not the reason why you let me deal with the shadows with my body..."

"Didn't you win the battle?"

Peter's expression collapsed, "If you win, you win..."

But his clothes were also torn to pieces by the shadow with the power of wind, and Peter still felt that his limbs were numb, which was the feeling of electricity flowing through him.

"Does not have the effect of being immune to magic."

Lucas puts the finishing touch.

The shadows in the hall each have their own abilities, which are divided into several categories: wind, freezing, fire, electric shock, nuclear power, blessing, and curse. They are almost like magic.

Normally, everyone uses a persona to fight, so naturally they don't think the shadow's ability is very powerful, but after the mutation, Peter went into battle personally and used his body to fight against the shadow's ability, and this was the result.

Peter can dodge most attacks by relying on his sensitive senses and superhuman reflexes, but if there are too many attacks, he will inevitably get hit by a few. Even though his body has been strengthened, the shadow's attacks seem to have penetrating properties. Peter Still very uncomfortable.

"Because shadows are idealistic existences, and their attacks are also the same, so even if the body is objectively strong, they will still be hurt." Lucas concluded.

Gwen: "Even Superman?"

Lucas nodded and said affirmatively: "Even Superman."

Superman's magic resistance is obvious to all, not to mention that most of the shadows use supernatural powers, and only a few shadows use pure physical attacks. In particular, some shadows also use tricks to control people's hearts. Such an environment will make Superman controlled to death. of.

"This is a world that cannot be known to superheroes, a world that only those who have awakened their personas are qualified to fight against."

"Is that so..." Peter was a little frustrated, "I thought he became a little stronger."

"Isn't the persona just you?" Lucas looked at him inexplicably.

"Yes, and you have become stronger in reality." Gwen encouraged with a smile, "You can also help more people."

"Helping more people..." Peter muttered.

"In short, control your power first. Reality is not as durable as the palace." Lucas said to Peter after returning to the real world.

After saying goodbye to his friends, Peter returned home and saw Uncle Ben and Aunt May looking sad.

"Alas, the current economic situation is getting worse and worse." Uncle Ben sighed, "Even a thirty-five-year-old technician like me is about to be laid off."

"Don't worry too much." Mei smiled slightly, "We have survived even the most difficult times. I believe in you, my dear."

"What happened?" Peter couldn't help but ask.

These days, he is too indulged in the adventures in the palace, and instead neglects his family around him.

"Don't worry Peter, we still have the ability to send you to school." Ben said.

But Peter, whose hearing is extra sensitive after the mutation, has heard the whole process. Uncle Ben and Aunt May have always been very good to him. Even if the family encounters difficulties, they still hope that he will continue to study hard, but Peter does not want to let a Because of his own reasons, Uncle Ben, who is still young, applies for jobs that require physical strength.

He pursed his lips and put down the backpack behind him.

"I have money."

Peter opened the zipper, and the colorful dollar bills fell down and gathered into a small slope.

But what Peter received was not the joy of his family. Ben's face showed a look of surprise. He asked seriously: "Peter, where did you get all this money?"

He didn't want to doubt his nephew who he had raised since childhood, so he wanted to find out the truth of the matter.

Peter was stunned. He opened his mouth, but found that he had nothing to say. Things about the palace and the other world must not be told. So how should we explain the money obtained from the shadows? Do we have to lie?

Peter's speechlessness caused a flash of disappointment in Ben's eyes, "Peter, I believe you are not a bad boy, so tell me the truth and I will return the money with you."

"What?" Peter looked at Ben in surprise, "No! This money..."

"Peter!" Ben's tone became stern, "No matter how difficult life is, we can't rely on dirty means..."

"That's not the case!" Peter interrupted Ben, "The money is...is..."

He is unable to tell the truth and is hurt by the suspicion in his family's eyes.

Peter lowered his head and said softly: "Sorry."

After saying that, he turned around, knocked open the door, and ran into the night.

The sound of "bang" made Lucas, who had just sat down next door, stand up immediately. When he opened the door, he happened to see Ben's leaving figure and Mei standing at the door with an anxious face.

"What happened?" Lucas couldn't help but ask.

Mei was sad and confused. She believed that Ben was the same. They were all willing to believe Peter, but Peter was unwilling to tell the origin of the money...

Mei looked at Lucas, smiled reluctantly, and said seriously: "Lucas, can you tell me what Peter has been doing recently?"

Lucas was stunned. He had never seen Mei, who always had a happy smile on her face, look like this.

In the end what happened?

Through Mei's figure, Lucas saw the dollar bills floating out of the house in the wind at her feet. His heart suddenly sank. That guy Peter wouldn't...

Noticing that Mei looked at him with a bit more pleading, Lucas took a deep breath and said, "Okay, actually..."

Peter on the other side naturally didn't know that his good brother Lucas was racking his brains to think of how to wipe his butt. He pulled down his hood and walked among the crowd with his head lowered.

Of course Peter knew that Uncle Ben had already caught up with him when he ran out, but... he really didn't know how to convince the upright Uncle Ben to use the money, let alone how to explain all this.

His own impulsiveness actually created the current unsolvable situation, and his smart mind seemed to be stuck in a mush at the moment, unable to think of any solution.

So Peter ran away. He really didn't want to face questioning and suspicion from the people closest to him.
