Comic: Becoming a Phantom Thief to Steal Hearts

Regarding Norman's repentance, it was settled in Peter's silence. Except for Mindy muttering a few words, neither Lucas nor Gwen had any objection to this matter.

"Think about it, why bother arguing with a dying person." Hope flapped her wings, "It's just a good time to give yourself a holiday. I've almost finished handling the requests on the forum recently."

"The Halloween parade Harry mentioned is coming soon." Lucas opened his phone and took a look.

"That means...it's a holiday?!"

"Almost, the final exam will be in a few days." Lucas said calmly.

"Hmph, this is a piece of cake for the Phantom Thieves!"

"Correction, you and Mindy don't count because you don't have to take the test."

"It doesn't matter if such a small problem doesn't need to be corrected! By the way, Mindy is still at school age, so why doesn't she want to go to school?"

[McCready: Needless to say, I don’t want to be brainwashed.

Lucas:?

Stacey:?

Parker:?

Lucas: What does brainwashing mean?

McCready: Don't you know?

McCready: Those nasty guys have been brainwashing brainless brats.

McCready: Tell them you are not the gender you think you are, or the opposite gender.

McCready: It's so funny.

McCready: I ​​can't act stupid. ]

Mindy was as aggressive as ever, but the revelation still shocked the trio.

[Stacey: I heard about this, but never thought it would be in school…

Parker: Children at this age don’t have much ability to distinguish!

Lucas: I’ve learned a lot.

McCready: That's it.

McCready: I'm not going to school.

McCready: Not to mention you can learn a lot at home.

Stacey: But it's still very different. After all, I can make new friends at school.

McCready: I ​​don't need childish friends.

McCready: You guys are enough. ]

"Mindy..." Hope hesitated, "I don't think this is good."

"It doesn't matter, school is not necessary." Lucas said, he frowned slightly, "However, what she said did surprise me a little. This kind of transgender thought is not popular in Gotham." Just like A lonely island in the world.

"Isn't this a good thing? Being transgender is a bit outrageous."

"Well, that's indeed a good thing."

"Didi"

The phone rang again.

[McCready: Well, Lucas, are you going to take a vacation? ]

Mindy did not post the message in the group this time, but sent a private message to Lucas.

[Lucas: Yeah.

Lucas: We have the day off next week.

Lucas: What's the matter?

McCready: I ​​heard today's Halloween parade will be very lively...]

Lucas showed a look of realization and continued typing.

[Lucas: Do you want to come with us?

Lucas: It was also my first time attending a Halloween parade. ]

Gotham is very careful about holding large-scale events, for fear that the super criminals in the lunatic asylum will cause a big incident on such occasions, but New York is different in this regard. Are they afraid that the villains will cause trouble? It doesn't exist. Even if someone causes trouble, they have to get high before talking about it.

It's hard to say which of the two ideas is better, but all Lucas can do is lean into it.

[McCready: I

McCready: I ​​didn't think so!

McCready: But since you say so, I'll reluctantly go with you. ]

Lucas didn't care at all about the girl's little tsundere.

[Lucas: OK.

Lucas: Just in time to introduce Harry to you.

McCready: Oh oh.

Macready: He's the eldest son of the Osborne family, right?

Lucas: Don't call him that then.

Lucas: Harry doesn't really like it.

McCready: You know, I’m not that emotionally unquote person!

McCready: That's settled.

McCready: I'll come to your house to find you then.

Lucas: OK.

McCready: It's a deal! ]

"Oh - is Mindy coming for Halloween too?" Hope asked.

Lucas nodded, "I didn't expect everyone to look forward to Halloween so much."

"After all, it is a holiday celebration, and everyone likes to be lively." Hope's voice was also full of smiles, "Speaking of which, what is the Halloween parade going to do?"

"Cosplay, right? Then go ask for candy..." Lucas said helplessly, "But this session probably isn't suitable for us."

"Why, you are only sixteen years old, so Mindy is more suitable."

"Forehead……"

"Don't be embarrassed." Hope smiled mischievously, "On holidays, you have to have a good time!"

Looking at Hope who was full of interest, Lucas laughed dryly and said perfunctorily, "It's not even time for vacation yet..."

"Oh, by the way, I still have to act. Lucas, what do you want to act like?"

Lucas looked at Hope, who was becoming more and more plump, and raised his glasses, "Well, I already had an idea."

"Let's talk about it."

"How about Harry Potter?" he asked cheerfully.

These days have been relatively leisurely, and Lucas has also been reading popular novels.

Hope stayed for a few seconds, then said: "Hey! I'm not an owl!"

Hope's opposition could not sway Lucas's decision. After the final exams, Midtown Middle School entered the winter vacation, followed by New York's annual lively Halloween parade.

The city government attaches great importance to this celebration and started decorating the streets a few days in advance. Halloween ghost decorations have been seen hanging everywhere on the busy streets. Many department stores are also busy selling holiday gifts and clothing. Pile up in the windows, attracting many passers-by to stop and watch. Supermarkets and markets also display large and small pumpkins for sale, for the public to buy home and decorate their homes or make jack-o-lanterns.

"That's too much!" Hope stood on Lucas's shoulder and said through gritted teeth.

"Relax." Lucas, who changed into a black robe, said easily, "Our outfits are so suitable, and it won't be too out of the ordinary to take you to the parade like this."

"I can obviously stay in your pocket!"

Lucas looked at Hope's round body hesitantly, "...really?"

"What's that look in your eyes!"

"dong dong"

Just as the two were bickering, there was a knock on the door.

Lucas stood up and opened the door, and a skull appeared in front of him.

"Haha, trick or treat! (Trick or treat)" Mindy made an exaggerated face.

Her entire face was painted black, except for the area around her eyes and cheeks, which looked the same at first glance at night.

Lucas smiled, grabbed a handful of candies from the box on the shoe cabinet and handed them to her, "Here you go."

Lucas' reaction was quite dull. Although this was within Mindy's expectation, she was still a little disappointed, "Isn't Lucas a little bit scared?"

"The shadows in another world are much scarier than this," Lucas said helplessly, "Or do you want to see me pretend to be scared?"

"Then forget it." Mindy greeted Hope with her eyes bent, "Long time no see, Hope."

She stretched out her claws to rub Hope's fat belly.

"Well... you'd better forget about me!" Hope flapped her wings and flew above Lucas' head.

"Huh - no one is touching you now?"

"You're the one who tried too hard!"

Mindy looked up and down Lucas' simple black robe and pointed hat, "Isn't your outfit too ordinary? It won't scare anyone at all."

"I said the same about him," Hope said speechlessly.

"I'm just an ordinary wizard." Lucas said seriously, "I just need to blend in with the crowd in a low-key manner."

"That's so boring," Mindy said as she stuffed the candy Lucas gave her into her pocket.

"By the way, does Peter live next door?" The little girl rolled her eyes maliciously.

"Are you going to scare him?" Lucas saw through Mindy's plan at a glance.

"hey-hey."

"Trick or treat!"

"Oh!" Mei, who opened the door, leaned back subconsciously and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw clearly the little girl in front of her who only reached her waist.

Mei showed a kind smile, "Ah, are you here to ask for candy?"

"Huh?" Mindy, who didn't know Mei, was stunned. She quickly waved her hands, "No, no, I'm here to see Peter Parker... Isn't this his home?"

Mei blinked, "Yes, it turns out he is a friend of Peter's kid."

"Friend...friend." Mindy stuttered, "Yes...yes."

"Peter went out early in the morning." Mei said with a smile, picked up a handful of candies and put them in Mindy's palm, "Here, your candies."

"Would you like to come in and sit down?" she invited.

"No, no, no, no need!" Mindy turned around and ran away, "Sorry! Excuse me!"

"Is this a kid here asking for candy?" Ben asked after hearing the noise in the room.

"Yeah." Mei turned around and smiled softly, "He's still Peter's friend."

"Oh?"

"She's a cute little girl..."

Mei closed the door, and laughter soon came from inside the house.

"What a shame!" Mindy looked at Lucas resentfully, "Why didn't you remind me!"

Lucas suppressed a laugh, "I didn't install a surveillance camera on Peter. I don't know that he's not at home."

"Damn it! You're still laughing!" Mindy puffed her cheeks.

"It's okay, Aunt Mei is very nice."

"Of course I know that." Mindy muttered, lowering her head.

"Peter must have gone to find Gwen when he's not at home." Lucas guessed that young lovers always like to stay together all day long, and he is so fed up that he doesn't want to have lunch with them at noon, let alone on holidays.

[Lucas: @Parker @Stacy Where are you now?

Parker: Shopping...]

As he said that, Peter took a photo of the shopping mall. It was very lively with people coming and going. Peter, who looked haggard, was in sharp contrast to Gwen behind who was smiling and trying clothes on her body.

[McCready: Hahahahahahaha

Macready: I'm laughing so hard. What's your expression?

Lucas:…

Lucas: Why do you suddenly want to go shopping?

Parker: There's a discount in the mall, so I'll prepare Christmas gifts for you.

Parker: I just didn’t expect Gwen to be able to wander around for so long...

McCready: So frustrating!

McCready: You're still Spider-Man, why can't you just go shopping!

Parker: Hey, don’t talk nonsense, okay?

Parker: I can't! ]

Peter was having a passionate confrontation with Mindy in the group, when suddenly a shadow appeared in front of his eyes.

"Is shopping with me boring?" Gwen asked, crossing her chest.

"Ahaha, how could it be possible?" Peter was excited, "It's almost time for the celebration. We have to confirm the meeting place with Lucas and the others."

"That's right, we have to change clothes right away." Gwen put her chin on her head, "Who are you going to dress up as?"

"Um..." Peter scratched his hair, "Spider-Man?"

Then he saw Gwen's speechless expression, "Aren't you tired of wearing that suit yet? Besides, it's not acting, Mr. Spider-Man."

Peter blinked, "So, do you have any ideas, my girlfriend?"

"Leave it to me." Gwen raised her eyebrows.

After contacting Peter, Lucas clicked on Harry's profile picture.

[Lucas: Are you going to celebrate tonight? ]

Harry, who was carefully brushing his fangs in front of the mirror, picked up his phone and saw Lucas's message.

[Osborne: Of course.

Osborne: I'm ready.

Osborne: See you on Sixth Avenue at seven.

Lucas: OK. ]

Lucas glanced at the time. It was almost six-thirty.

"Come on Mindy, go to Center Avenue."

"Okay." Mindy jumped off the sofa, "Let's go!"

Even before we leave the community, there is already a strong Halloween atmosphere. Everyone has made a big makeover in their houses. There are pumpkins painted with ghost faces, tombstones with humorous words, skeletons and bones hanging on the trees, flying... There is a fat witch on the roof, there are green hands sticking out of the mailbox, and some neighbors have decorated their front gardens as cemeteries. When passing by these places at night, they feel particularly eerie and spooky. Some people put pavements outside their houses. The spider web looks like a haunted house that has been abandoned for a long time.

After leaving the relatively quiet community, the street is like another world. Both sides of the street are already crowded with people, with three floors inside and three floors outside, a sea of ​​people.

A few half-grown boys on skateboards whizzed in and whizzed away, and skulls, witches, monsters and monsters were swaying around in a mighty manner.

There are even people who are completely naked and painted on their bodies. When encountering this sight, Lucas blindfolds Mindy.

"Hey!" Mindy said dissatisfied, "I'm not an ordinary kid. I've seen him naked before."

Hope: "Huh?"

"Don't make such a fuss. Men are at their lowest vigilance when their semen is in their brains." The young Mindy said without hesitation.

"...Don't say such things in public!" Hope said speechlessly.

Now that Mindy said so, Lucas took back his hand. He avoided the colored powder people threw into the sky and pulled down his hat to reduce his presence.

...There are probably too many people here.
