Comic: Becoming a Phantom Thief to Steal Hearts
Chapter 84 The Commission of the Undead
By the next day, Tim had already left the hotel.
"Hey, Tim has left." Gwen looked at Lucas who yawned slowly, "Lucas, did you tell him about your relationship with Lionel yesterday?"
That's why everyone gave Lucas and Tim space yesterday.
"no."
"Huh?" Mindy elbowed Lucas, "You're not going to make people angry because you didn't explain it clearly, are you?"
"What are you thinking about?" Lucas shook his head speechlessly, "Tim and I talked about other things, such as the new type of Trojans that appeared recently, and he just went to deal with this matter."
Harry, who was looking at his phone, raised his head and said, "Speaking of which, I have to go back to New York."
He sighed, "The new Trojan attacked the company's firewall. Although it didn't cause much damage, due to the loss of contact with overseas partners, I have to go back to take charge of the overall situation."
As the owner of the Osborne Group, Harry must take responsibility both emotionally and rationally.
"Although it's a pity, I'm afraid we have to separate here." Harry said, "If you want to continue to play in the Metropolis, just continue to stay. This hotel is owned by the Osborne Group, so feel free to stay Come on."
"Then...then we also go back?"
"How can we call it team-building for the Phantom Thieves if Harry is not around?"
"Sorry, I can't leave Metropolis yet." Lucas suddenly said, "I promised Robin that I would help him investigate something."
This sentence was like a depth bomb, and everyone looked at him in unison.
"Luo...Robin contacted you?" Harry said excitedly, "And asked you to investigate the case?!"
Ever since he used Robin's gadget to break through his company's firewall, Harry had one more hero he liked.
"Oh oh oh, so Lucas, you are now Robin's... um... informant?"
"more or less."
"What are you investigating?" Mindy asked curiously.
"Metropolitan Cemetery."
"Cemetery?!" Gwen stuttered, "Why are you investigating a place like this?"
"The cemetery...the place where the dead energy settles. Do you want to torture the undead?" Raven said ethereally, "No matter what kind of evil person he is, I can pry his mouth open."
"Ah, don't say such weird things!" Mindy shouted quickly.
"Then let's go with Lucas." Peter said, winking at Lucas, "We are a team."
"Okay." Lucas smiled slightly.
"What a shame." Harry sighed.
"It doesn't matter, your job is important too."
"I know..." Harry muttered.
He just felt a little regretful.
After saying goodbye to Harry, everyone planned to take the bus to the Metropolitan Cemetery. Cemeteries in big cities are all in the suburbs, and the Metropolitan Cemetery is no exception. It’s just that the journey from the city center to the suburbs is longer than everyone thinks.
After a three-hour drive, the scenery outside the window changed from a busy neighborhood to a quiet suburb.
Since it was not a day off, there were very few people in the cemetery. Only the white flowers in front of the tomb swayed gently in the breeze.
The tombkeeper was an elderly man. Seeing these tender-faced boys and girls who looked like students at first sight, the old man raised his eyelids and asked, "Children, are you here to visit the tomb?"
"No sir, we want to ask you some questions?" Lucas said.
The old man narrowed his eyes and said, "What's the problem?"
"Have you ever seen someone wearing a blue tights and a red cape come here?" Lucas asked.
Although I have doubts about Robot Superman, in terms of appearance, he is indeed the best restored one.
"Oh... you are talking about Superman, right?" the old man said, "Although I have guarded this land my whole life, I am not an ignorant person."
"Uh...sorry."
"It doesn't matter." The old man shook his head, "It's just that someone asked the same question this morning."
"Is there anyone else asking the same question?" Lucas said in surprise.
"That's right." The old man nodded, "She said she was a reporter and hoped to get the truth from me."
"That's quite impressive." Mindy said in a low voice, "This reporter has a lot of tricks up his sleeve."
You must know that this information was given by Robin, and this unknown reporter was able to find this place by himself.
"Follow me." The old man walked into the cemetery.
Everyone came to a statue of Santa Maria with a pair of wings.
"This is it." The old man stopped next to the statue.
"Are you sure?"
"That's him, well, half of him. I'm not that old yet."
"Is he with anyone else?" Lucas asked again.
"Only her." The old man turned back and pointed to a tombstone next to the statue.
"Terri Henshaw..." Lucas approached the tombstone and read out the signature on it. The tombstone looked very new, and its owner must have been sleeping here not long ago.
"He was so distracted that he stood there for half the night, talking to the air." The old man sighed. "He looked tortured. Of course, it is not uncommon here."
After politely thanking and bidding farewell to the old man, everyone gathered around Terri's grave.
"Look." Gwen picked up the red rose placed in front of the tombstone.
The dark red petals are in full bloom, but there is a little yellow on the edges. They may have been left for a long time and have begun to wither.
"They actually put roses." Gwen sighed, "They must be lovers."
"Superman's lover?" Lucas blinked. Although this conclusion could be drawn based on the signs in front of him, Lucas always felt that this was wrong.
He looked at the picture on the tombstone of a woman with short hair, sharp eyes, and full of heroic spirit.
Superman's lovers shouldn't be like this.
The thought came to his mind.
"Terri Henshaw? This name sounds so familiar." Peter suddenly said, scratching his hair, "I feel like I've heard it somewhere before."
"Ahhhhh, I can't remember!" Peter said tangledly.
"Why don't you just ask her how she is doing," Raven said.
"Um...what do you want to ask?"
"Her soul is still here." Raven put her hand on the tombstone, and the black in her eyes faintly spread to the whites of her eyes.
"Wait a minute." Lucas grabbed Raven's wrist and looked into her eyes, "Will this have any impact on your body?"
"Why do you say that?" Raven frowned slightly, "As long as it doesn't break."
"You are the one, what are you talking about?" Mindy couldn't help but said, "Don't treat yourself like an object!"
"That's right, we definitely have other ways." Gwen also said.
As girls, they are the ones who have spent the most time with Raven in the past few days, and they also deeply feel the childishness behind Raven's cold expression. Raven doesn't care about his body at all, which is really heartbreaking.
Raven looked up at the crowd, with surprise in her eyes.
"Why... why do you say that? To you, I am just a stranger of unknown origin. Even if I die, it won't matter."
"That's not the case." Lucas shook his head and looked at Raven again, "That's not the case. No matter who it is, we will never watch him die, let alone..."
His eyes slightly curved, "We get along very well, don't we."
Raven's eyes widened slightly, she looked at Lucas and murmured: "You can actually say such things, obviously..."
A cloud of black mist is reflected in the penetrating black eyes, like the purest malice in the world, but such darkness is warm, and it can still be like this...
[I am you, you are me.
Here you gain a new bond.
As the saying goes, the wings of salvation free from bondage.
I, the priestess mask, was born in the wind of blessing, to invite salvation and add strength...]
The voice in his heart sounded, and Lucas couldn't help but look at Raven.
"It's okay." Sanwu Girl looked away and said, "It's just a small necromancy magic, it doesn't count as much consumption."
"Hey! You're so cunning!" Mindy opened her eyes wide, "You can't attract attention in this way!"
Raven tilted her head, "I never said it would affect me. This is all what you think."
Peter elbowed Lucas and teased: "You made a mistake, Captain, don't you want to treat us?"
"Okay, what do you want to eat?" Lucas said helplessly.
"Burrito."
"hot dog."
"cake!"
"You are really rude." Gwen smiled.
"What about you Gwen?"
"Cake, cake..." Raven muttered.
"Well... let's be like Raven." Gwen laughed.
It just so happens that she also likes sweets.
Satisfied that she could have cake again, Raven came to the tomb again, and several people who were very curious about magic gathered around her.
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos!"
As the spell was uttered, Raven's entire body turned into a strange black shadow, the four red eyes on her head opened, and black claws stretched out from under her cloak.
"Wow!"
What made everyone exclaim was not Raven's current appearance, but the milky-white spirit that emerged from Terri's tomb.
The woman in front of her has a proud figure, neat short hair, and heroic appearance. She is exactly the same as the black and white photo on the tombstone.
"Terri Henshaw?" Lucas asked.
"It's me." Terri nodded. She looked at Raven, who had transformed back into the lovely Sanwu girl, but Raven's casual glance immediately made the undead lady retract her gaze.
She could feel that this girl could easily drive her away.
Raven's methods are indeed powerful, but now is not the time to get to the bottom of things. Lucas looked at Terri and asked directly: "Mrs. Henry, is Robot Superman your husband?"
Mentioning this, guilt and distress flashed in Terri's eyes, and she nodded helplessly, "That's right."
Although the man who had been standing in front of her tomb for half the night had changed his appearance and had a superhuman appearance and a half-cold body, Terri still recognized her husband.
The two loved each other deeply, and the pain and love in Hank Henshaw's eyes could not be faked.
"Hank Henshaw, that's his name, we were the crew of the Excalibur a year ago."
As soon as the Excalibur was mentioned, Peter suddenly realized, "It turns out to be the Excalibur."
The Excalibur is a spacecraft that observes the sun. It is filled with top scientists. They usually conduct experiments and check the radiation from the universe. But no one expected that a sudden cosmic storm destroyed the outer wall of the Excalibur and caused the explosion. The spacecraft suddenly disintegrated in the universe.
How can the fragile human body survive the cold universe? The accident happened too suddenly. When the necessary oxygen leaked crazily, the pain of suffocation came from the lungs, and the body changed bit by bit in the boundless universe. It was so cold that everyone died in such agony.
Even if she recalled all this in her undead body, Terri's body still couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"Sorry, I really lost my temper." Terri said with a wry smile.
"It's okay, it's understandable," said Lucas, who urgently looked up the Excalibur accident.
"When the Excalibur had an accident, Hank believed until the last moment that Superman would come to save us, but until the end, Superman didn't show up, so he blamed all of this on Superman."
"Ah..." Peter's expression was complicated.
He didn't expect this to be the reason.
"But what does Hank Henry want to do?" Peter asked.
He doesn't understand the reason why Hank Hunter became Superman. Look at him, he has almost lived like Superman in the past few months.
Lucas frowned, "That's probably what he wants. He wants everyone to think of him as Superman."
Lucas lowered his eyes, "After all, this is the only way. When he uses his identity as Superman to commit major crimes, he can nail the name Superman to the pillar of shame in history."
"What?!" Peter opened his eyes wide.
"I think so too," Mindy said solemnly.
"How could this be possible..." Peter's eyes were filled with sadness, "Superman, Superman sacrificed himself for everyone. Do you want this inexplicable guy to damage Superman's reputation? No! We must stop him!"
"So that's it," Raven said. "No wonder he feels pain and resentment."
"Oh, you can actually understand this emotion!" Mindy said in a fuss.
Raven glanced at her lightly, "I can read human memories, including emotions."
"Then why do you always do some inexplicable things? It's not intentional, right?" Mindy looked at her suspiciously, unable to see any emotion from Mindy's expressionless face.
"I don't know what Hank wants to do, but I still ask you to stop him." Terri said, "His current state is very dangerous, like a different person. I don't want him to feel regret when he wakes up. .”
A different person?
Lucas captured the key words, could it be Hank Henshaw... No, judging from his approach, there must be.
"Okay, I promise you." Lucas said.
