Comic: Becoming a Phantom Thief to Steal Hearts

Connors was heading towards the Osborne Building. He appeared on the street carelessly, and his huge figure immediately attracted the attention of the vigilant armed police.

After a big fuss at Midtown High School, Connors has attracted the attention of the whole city.

The heavily armed police did not offer any persuasion at all, and fired several shots at Connors. They showed no mercy to Connors, who had turned into a monster in appearance.

The pain from several bullets embedded in his body caused Connors to let out a harsh roar, and then fell heavily to the ground, making no sound.

"Is it dead?"

The armed policemen looked at each other, slowly approached Connors who was lying on the ground, until they stood in front of him, and pushed Connors' body with the muzzle of their guns.

Under the green skin, the wounds penetrated by the high temperature are healing quickly, and the pain has almost completely disappeared.

Connors suddenly opened his eyes wide, took out the medicine in his arms and sprayed it at the surrounding armed police, causing a large cloud of green mist to rise.

People who inhaled the green gas let out pitiful screams, and their skin began to appear with green scales, and their bodies began to grow in size, turning into lizard-men.

Connors continued to release green mist, and more and more people were turning into lizard-men after inhaling the gas. What was even more frightening was that the people who turned into lizard-men completely lost their minds, or ran into cars and sped away. on the road, or directly attack innocent civilians.

When the Avengers came out of the sewers, they were faced with such a chaotic scene.

Hawkeye took out a small bottle of blue antidote in his arms and uttered a curse word expressionlessly. The antidote originally used to deal with Dr. Connors must now be used to save the mutated people.

Not only that, they also have to control the chaotic situation.

"Tsk."

Seeing the chaos of demons in front of him, Tony called another member stationed in Avengers Tower.

"Bruce, you've seen the situation here, right? I need you to prepare more antidote."

"Okay, no problem." Bruce Banner saw the chaos on the streets of New York through Tony's vision and took a deep breath.

When he is not angry, he is the knowledgeable Dr. Banner, and it is natural to prepare antidotes.

"Need help?" he asked.

"These mutated lizard people are all transformed by the people of New York. If the big guy inside you comes out, things will become more troublesome." Tony said.

Although he looked down on those noisy government officials, being lectured by Fury was really annoying.

"I'll let Jarvis pick it up." After he finished speaking, he continued to control the out-of-control lizard people.

Although Tony is still thinking about Connors who made such a big fuss, the current focus is undoubtedly on rescuing the people.

At the same time, George, who received the news, boarded the police helicopter. For him, even if a superhero comes to the rescue, he still has to do what needs to be done.

"The lizard monster released a biological agent." George looked at the situation below with a stern expression. Everything was clear from the top, "The Avengers are controlling the situation, and the monster is heading north on Seventh Avenue."

Now Peter didn't have the time to send text messages slowly and wait for the two of them to reply. Instead, he made a phone call directly.

"Gwen, where are you now?" Peter asked anxiously as soon as Gwen picked up the phone.

"We are in Osborne Tower." Gwen and Lucas were preparing an antidote in the laboratory, and they had no idea what was happening.

"You have to get out of there!"

"But the antidote is almost ready..."

"Don't worry!" Peter said hoarsely, "Connors is already on the way, he is going to you! He is going to turn everyone in the city into lizards!"

Gwen glanced at the time on the mixing machine, "But, there are still eight minutes..."

"Everyone in the city turned into lizards. Did he use that potion..." Lucas, who was standing aside, heard the conversation between the two clearly. "Is it possible that it was the artificial rainfall machine on the roof?!"

"You have to wait for another eight minutes!" Peter's voice suddenly became louder, "This is a matter of life and death! Leave now!"

Gwen pursed her lips and said, "I have to evacuate everyone."

Lucas already had a serious look on his face, "I want to go to the top floor to take a look too."

"What?! You two..." Peter's eyes widened, but Gwen quickly hung up the phone, leaving only the relentless beeping in her ears.

He covered his head anxiously, "It's really crazy!"

Lucas and Gwen on the other side were calm.

Lucas pressed the emergency evacuation button on each floor. On his first day of employment, the old employees had repeatedly warned him not to touch this button casually. Now was a good time.

The ear-piercing alarm sounded, and Harry, who was in the office on the top floor, looked up from his documents in confusion, "What happened?"

The secretary frowned and looked at the floor where the alarm occurred. "Mr. Osborne, the alarm came from the fifteenth floor."

"Fifteenth floor?" Harry was stunned. "As far as I know, the fifteenth floor belongs to Dr. Connors's laboratory, right? But hasn't he been fired?"

Harry called up the surveillance on the fifteenth floor and saw a familiar figure. He said in surprise: "Lucas?"

"Is this someone Mr. Osborne knows?" the secretary asked.

"Yes...yes." Harry said confused.

His current secretary was arranged by Norman, who is equivalent to Norman's eyes. Harry understood this and usually got along well with each other, but now seeing the secretary's expression, Harry realized that he might regard Lucas as a Troublemaker.

But...based on Harry's understanding of Lucas and his status as a member of the Phantom Thieves, Lucas would never touch the emergency evacuation button just for fun.

"I'll give him a call." Harry said quickly as he saw his secretary was about to call security.

Lucas, who was stuck in the elevator with his employee, suddenly realized that he did not have permission to go to floors above the fifteenth floor.

Looking at the elevator that didn't respond at all after swiping his card, he couldn't help but raise his forehead and said, "How could I forget such an important thing..."

But if we climb the fire stairs, it might be too late.

Lucas began to think about going to the old employee's cabinet to find a card with sufficient permissions. This was an unusual practice in extraordinary times, and it was no longer about the issue of privacy.

The cell phone rang at an inappropriate time.

"Harry?"

"Lucas." Harry was silent for a few seconds, "When did you come to the Osborne Group?"

Lucas was stunned, and he thought of a terrible possibility, "Harry, are you in the building?"

"Yeah, I'm in the office."

"Alas..." Lucas held his forehead and said quickly: "Listen to me, there is a big lizard heading towards the Osborne Building. He hopes to use the artificial rainfall device on the Osborne Building to rain down on the whole building. The citizens of New York used biochemical agents to turn everyone into lizard-men."

He summarized the current situation very clearly in a few words, but the content of his words made Harry and the secretary look at each other.

"I'm very sorry, young gentleman." The secretary said bluntly, "Are you suffering from any delusional disorder?"

"I'm not talking crazy, go to an Internet cafe." Lucas also frowned.

"I know, I'll let you come up directly." Harry said.

"Little Mr. Osborne?"

"I trust my friends."

Lucas finally saw the elevator light up.

Just as Lucas went to the top floor, Connors also came to the outer wall of the Osborne Building. For him, he only had to climb up from the outside of the building.

The potion that Connors originally planned to put in the artificial rain device has just been released on the street to delay the Avengers, which means that he needs the potion prepared in his laboratory in the Osborn Building.

The searchlight of the police helicopter kept shining on Connors who was climbing on the wall of Osborne Tower. The alarm bells rang throughout the sky, and the red and blue police lights dyed the sky the same color.

Gwen knew that Connors was already here.

She glanced at the antidote with one minute left and bit her lower lip. She took out the lighter from the laboratory drawer, climbed onto the table and used the lighter's flame to grill the fire alarm on the ceiling.

The fire alarm dutifully sounded under the high temperature, and the ceiling began to spray water automatically. Because the fire alarm was triggered, a thick metal barrier was lowered around the laboratory. This was originally to prevent the spread of the fire, but now it is facing The final line of defense against Connors.

Gwen didn't know how long this layer of defense could stop Connors, but she at least wanted to ensure the smooth preparation of the antidote.

"dong dong"

The unusual movement outside the laboratory made Gwen tremble violently, and her beautiful eyes suddenly widened. She did not expect Connors to come so quickly.

I glanced at the countdown on the mixer again, there was still half a minute left.

Faced with this situation, no matter how unwilling Gwen was, she could only pick up the flamethrower in the laboratory and hide in the cabinet in the utility room next to the laboratory before Connors came in.

Connors easily tore through the metal wall and entered the laboratory, his huge body looking for something in the laboratory.

Gwen looked nervously at the movement outside through the gap in the cabinet door, and covered her mouth tightly with her hands to prevent any sound from coming out.

Despite the noise outside, Gwen could only hear the heavy footsteps and muffled breathing in her ears.

Connors suddenly stopped and walked towards the utility room.

Seeing that ferocious face getting closer and closer, Gwen felt her heart beating faster and faster.

It was discovered!

She clutched the flamethrower in her hand, if the time was right...

Connors took away the canned medicine in the utility room. Although he found the girl in the cabinet, he had no idea about killing Gwen. The most important thing now was to realize his ideal.

"Is this okay?" Harry looked at Lucas's operation worriedly.

"Sir, I sincerely hope you realize how much this machine is worth," the secretary said.

Before Lucas could refute, Harry frowned and refuted: "Is it still a matter of money now? We have confirmed the authenticity of the news. For the safety of the people of New York, what if this machine is disabled?"

"I wish you could understand." Lucas smiled slightly.

"I still have a sense of the overall situation." Harry glanced at the secretary, "Even if my father were here, he would still make such a decision."

Hearing Harry's words, the secretary looked a little ugly, but he didn't say anything in the end.

"You guys should leave first." Lucas noticed that the beams on the searchlights on the police helicopters surrounding the Osborne Building were getting closer and closer to the rooftop, which meant that Connors was getting closer to them. current location.

"Lucas, aren't you going down with us?" Harry couldn't help but ask, "Do you... have the ability to fight that monster?"

He knew that Lucas was a member of the Phantom Thieves, but the ability of the Phantom Thieves was always only reflected in making people repent. No one had ever seen the Phantom Thieves fighting with their own eyes.

"No, that's not the case." Lucas shook his head, "Although I would like to have the ability to fight, unfortunately I don't have it."

"Then leave with us!" Harry grabbed Lucas's wrist, "The Avengers and Spider-Man will solve the problem here!"

"Young Master, stop dawdling, we have to go!"

The monster's roars and gasps were getting closer and closer, and the secretary who was still maintaining dignity and elegance in front of Lucas could no longer hold back at this moment, and urged with a pale face.

After Connors left, Gwen hurriedly evacuated from the Osborne Building. She knew that Lucas was still on the roof, but the most helpful thing she could do now was to hand over the antidote in her hand. In Peter's hands.

"Dad!" Gwen saw George as soon as she came out of the Osborn Building. She was holding the antidote in her hand, "Where is Spider-Man? I have to give this to him!"

But how could George agree to Gwen's request? He said sternly: "Get in the car."

"What? Dad, you don't understand..." Gwen shook her head and clenched the antidote in her hand.

"I won't let you go!" George said seriously.

"Why?" Gwen opened her eyes wide, "This is the antidote to deal with that lizard man. If there is no antidote..."

George sighed, "Spider-Man is on the Osborne Tower now. As a father, I will never let you step into danger again."

"What..." Gwen raised her head and saw the small figure on the outer wall.

"Leave it to me." George stretched out his hand, "Let me give the antidote to Spider-Man."

Although he has many opinions on superheroes in his heart, George will not be vague about the overall situation. What's more, their battles have indeed protected the people of New York, but as a police officer, they cannot get away with it.

"dad……"

Looking at George's resolute face, Gwen bit her lower lip. She knew that she couldn't take risks under her father's eyes. In this case...

Gwen handed the antidote to George and said softly: "Don't put him in danger."
