Comic: Becoming a Phantom Thief to Steal Hearts

After saying something of unknown meaning, Archipald disappeared again.

Feeling the drizzle falling on his body, Lucas sighed. He was used to the boy's elusiveness, but every time Archipal appeared, it would bring him many questions.

At this moment, Lucas felt a slight vibration on the ground. Could it be that Peter had already started fighting with Dr. Connors in the sewer.

Lucas looked at the sewer worriedly, "Peter..."

After a long time, the movement slowly died down, but Peter did not come out from this exit.

[Lucas: Peter, are you okay? ]

Fortunately, Lucas didn't have to wait too long before Peter replied to him.

[Parker: Don't worry, I'm fine.

Parker: Also, I... met Dr. Connors, who had completely transformed into a lizard. ]

Although Peter responded to Lucas in a timely manner, his response was slow and not at all like his usual self.

[Lucas: Putting aside the matter of Dr. Connors, are you really not injured? ]

Peter, who had a deep claw mark on his chest from Connors, watched Lucas' news in silence. The severe pain and constant blood loss left him with no extra energy to do more.

[Parker: I...I did get hurt a little bit.

Parker: But don't worry.

Parker: The top priority now is to tell Director Stacey quickly. ]

Lucas pursed his lips and continued typing.

[Lucas: So you're going to Gwen's house now?

Parker: Yeah.

Parker: Be careful these days...]

After Peter finished the beating, he touched the mask that was torn by Dr. Lizard, and his young face was revealed between the gaps.

After crawling out of the sewer, Peter realized that his face had been seen by Connors, which made him very worried, especially because Connors' beastly pupils shrank suddenly after seeing his exposed face. , obviously recognizing him.

Peter still remembered what Lucas told him that Dr. Connors was an old acquaintance of his parents, so his identity had been exposed to Dr. Connors.

While Dr. Lizard was looking at his face, Peter escaped from his claws.

Gwen here was browsing the Phantom Thieves Forum, looking for the target of her next action, when she heard a gentle knock on the window from the balcony.

Gwen glanced back just in time to see Peter smiling at her.

"Come in." Gwen turned her head and joked lightly: "Maybe you should consider coming in through the front door..."

The sound of heavy objects falling behind her made the relaxed look on Gwen's face disappear immediately. She stood up anxiously and came to Peter who was sitting on the ground. After getting closer, she noticed a strong smell of blood. .

"What happened?"

Gwen helped Peter to her bed, not minding his embarrassment at this time.

"The opponent is a super giant mutant lizard..."

Before Peter could finish speaking, he heard George Stacey's voice outside, "Gwen, do you need some hot cocoa? Helen is in the kitchen..."

Gwen bit her lower lip. If George came in to give her hot cocoa, the injured Peter would be seen by her father. Then it would be unclear. What's more, George didn't like Peter, he was his old father. His instinctive hostility towards the little brat who gets close to his own daughter.

Gwen ran to the door and opened it just a crack, revealing only her face, "I don't need hot cocoa, really, I'm 16 years old."

"Okay." George raised his eyebrows, "But someone said last week that he wanted to live in a chocolate house."

Gwen blushed and said subconsciously: "That's simply impossible."

He slammed the door shut, opened it again after a second, and emphasized: "And it will make you fat."

Gwen closed the door, and Peter on the bed grinned at her and said teasingly: "Chocolate room?"

Gwen couldn't help but roll her eyes at this guy who was obviously hurt and still making fun of her.

However, Gwen also knew that her performance in front of George just now was too abrupt, and she needed to find a better reason to deceive her detective father.

Gwen opened the door, and sure enough she saw George still in the living room, looking at her door without leaving.

"Sorry……"

"It's delicious," George said.

"Um...I can't drink hot cocoa now because..." Gwen blinked, "I...you know...I...that's coming, now I feel a little nauseous when I smell chocolate, and I feel like crying every now and then. ……Very hard……"

"It's okay, it's okay, I understand."

"Anyway you don't know any better."

"Okay okay."

George nodded in understanding, turned and left.

Gwen returned to the room and breathed a huge sigh of relief.

She sterilized her handkerchief and carefully wiped the blood around Peter's wound.

The hideous wounds on Peter's body made Gwen frown. They were both members of the Phantom Thieves. Ever since Wilson was repented, the Phantom Thieves had not had any decent goals. They mostly dealt with small characters based on information on the forum. Such The target does not require all members of the Phantom Thieves to take action. It is more of a small-scale dispatch, that is, a group of two or three people is fine.

Gwen knew that Peter had been inseparable from Lucas recently. As the leader of the Phantom Thieves, Lucas' strength was beyond reproach. If it were in another world, Peter would never be so seriously injured.

Then...it could be that Peter was injured when he was Spider-Man.

Gwen bandaged Peter's wound silently. Looking at Peter's slightly pale face, she finally said, "I know this feeling."

"What?" Peter asked doubtfully.

"Ever since I can remember, my dad... has left the house every day, wearing a badge and a gun." Gwen turned away, "Ever since I can remember, every day... I don't know if he can come back safely. Home."

Her voice began to tremble.

"I know, it's okay." Peter held Gwen's face and found that the girl he loved had red eyes. He pressed Gwen's forehead, "But I have to stop him. That has become my responsibility."

"What does it mean?"

Instead of telling Gwen, Peter said to himself, "I... found Dr. Connors' abandoned laboratory in the sewers, and found my father's research in it. He became like this because of my father. Researched equations.”

He sighed, "In this case, this matter has nothing to do with me. I must put things right!"

"Peter..."

The healing factors in the body began to take effect. A few lightly injured areas had formed a thin layer of scabs, and the limbs that had lost strength had also regained some strength.

"Let's go out for a walk." Peter smiled at Gwen, "Can we get some air, just for a few minutes?"

"Do not."

"OK."

"No!"

"Okay."

"No, no, no." Gwen glanced out the window, the sky had already darkened, "My parents will be very angry when they see it."

Peter raised his lips, "They won't find out."

While Peter was taking Gwen and wandering through the building under the cover of night, Connors, who had returned to his human form in the sewer, fell into a depressed mood.

Looking at that young, familiar face, Connors felt as if he had gone back in time for a moment. The cheerful Richard Parker and the gentle Mary Parker were the best companions on the scientific research road in their young and frivolous days. , he attended the wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Parker, witnessed the birth of their love, and also... also attended their funeral.

"Peter Parker." Connors murmured Peter's name, "Spider-Man, I don't need help from others. I will never be alone again! I will never be abandoned again! Large-scale dispersal of the entire species can make humans evolve faster. ! This is called survival of the fittest..."

Although Connors still looks human, green scales have appeared on his face. Connors, who is gradually falling into madness, does not realize that he is slowly turning into a monster.

However, I'm afraid he wouldn't care even if he knew this now.

"I was right!"

Connors took out the spare potion and injected it into his body again.

"You won't get a chance to stop me this time, Peter Parker!"

The next day, Lucas met a rosy-faced Peter at school.

"You don't look injured," Lucas said calmly.

Looking at Chunfeng's face, he didn't look like an injured person at all.

Peter, who was feeling a dull pain from his wound, immediately grimaced, "Ahaha, I fought really hard yesterday..."

Of course, Lucas was really not blaming Peter. After seeing his friend come to school well, he was relieved in his heart. It was precisely because Peter was fine that he was in the mood to joke with Peter.

"Did you go to Gwen's house yesterday?"

Thinking of what happened last night, Peter's face turned red, "Well..."

This reaction was not quite right. Lucas looked at Peter, who was blushing, and immediately understood something. He twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "So you...are together?"

"Uh...right."

Lucas sighed, is it possible that he will have to eat their dog food from now on? However, he still sent his blessings to the love between the two friends.

"Congratulations."

Lucas suddenly remembered Peter's text message yesterday, "By the way, have you told Sheriff Stacey about Dr. Connors?"

Peter's face suddenly froze, "Ah...this..."

"You must have forgotten..." Lucas showed his dead eyes.

"Ahahaha..." Peter scratched his head in embarrassment.

After confessing to Gwen last night, his brain had been dizzy and he couldn't even sleep well all night. His mind was filled with Gwen's gentle smile.

"Forget it, what happened to the news you told us to be careful about yesterday?" Lucas asked.

"Ah... well, when I was fighting yesterday, part of my mask was torn to pieces by Dr. Connors. Judging from his reaction, he may have recognized me."

"What?!" Lucas' eyes widened instantly, "Then you still want to come to school like a normal person?!"

"What's wrong?" Peter said confused.

"Didn't I tell you? Dr. Connors knows your parents..."

"I know this." Peter breathed a sigh of relief. He thought he had missed something. "I also found my father's research information in Dr. Connors' sewer laboratory. The core of Dr. Connors' research is Equations from my dad.”

Lucas was silent for a moment, "...That's really a bad fate."

"Indeed, so no matter what, I have to stop him." Peter said firmly, "I can't let my father's research be used like this."

While the two were chatting, the entire stall in the Zhongcheng Middle School toilet collapsed, revealing a large pit, and a claw popped out of the pit.

Connors crawled out of the pit, and his huge figure broke through the bathroom wall and entered the crowded corridor.

For the students, the monster that appeared in front of them was so ferocious and terrifying that screams suddenly filled the entire corridor, and the frightened students began to scramble to escape.

Such a big movement naturally attracted the attention of Lucas and Peter.

"what happened?"

Peter and Lucas rushed out of the classroom and happened to see Connors looking around.

"That is……"

"Let's go!" Peter said to Lucas beside him and Gwen who also ran out.

Connors turned his head and met Peter's eyes, and rushed over with long strides.

"Let's go!" Lucas grabbed Gwen's wrist and ran out with the other students.

Connors only had Peter in his eyes, so he didn't care about Lucas and Gwen who were leaving.

"We can't let Peter fight alone!" Gwen said anxiously, "He was seriously injured yesterday."

"I know," Lucas said calmly, "but we can't help Peter with our bare hands."

Peter and Connors were fighting in the deserted school. Compared with the sewers, the classroom was more open, so Peter had more room to dodge. However, as the range of movements increased, he felt that he had not yet The good wounds began to open.

Sweat ran down his cheeks, but the whizzing claws told Peter that once he relaxed, death would come as expected.

"You can't continue your research, the results are already obvious." While avoiding Connors' attack, Peter did not forget to talk.

"Many people are lonely and lost. I can save them! Cure them! You don't have to stop me!"

"You are confused right now, we can have a good talk! You know my parents, don't you?" Peter gritted his teeth and said, "We can really have a good talk!"

But Connors had no intention of continuing the conversation with Peter. He grabbed Peter and threw him against the wall. The huge impact caused Peter to break through the wall and fall into the next room.

Peter showed a painful expression when he landed. He wanted to get up, but happened to touch his backpack next to him. It turned out that they were slapping each other and returned to their classroom.

Peter gritted his teeth and picked up his backpack, which contained Spider-Man's uniform.
