[Comprehensive British and American] SpiderGirl

"What's the matter?" Strange asked as he watched Petra put down the phone expressionlessly.

"Venom wants to clean up for me and make sure I don't shed my hair," Petra replied.

"..."

No problem, Venom does not shed hair.

Strange said, "Leave the dog thing aside, I have something to ask you."

"what?"

"Otherwise, what do you think I'm looking for you for?" He began to smile mysteriously.

"do not know."

"Of course, you don't care about gossip. It's good to continue to insist on this, and it deserves to be commended." Strange said unhurriedly, "So, after careful consideration, I decided to give you a task."

The supreme mage said that Halloween is coming, and that day he will go to Europe with his colleagues (including the mages of Karma Taj) to attend the party of the dead, so please ask Petra to help him stay on the night shift in the sanctuary.

There are many precious magical artifacts kept in the Holy of Holies, which will always attract a few restless characters. Usually, with Strange sitting in charge, they will naturally live in peace.Petra frowned and thought for a while: "Is there really someone so fearless about death?"

"They might get the news that I'm leaving," Strange replied, "I've set up a defense line, and ordinary thieves can't get in. But just in case, like, you know, a festival like Halloween , there is no telling when some powerful, restless ghosts and ghosts will appear."

"Ghost? Monster??" Petra's expression changed.

Strange's gaze suddenly became extremely sharp: "You are not afraid of ghosts, are you?"

"No...well, a little bit," she admitted reluctantly. "Besides, with my luck, accidents are likely to happen on this kind of festival."

"Don't be crowed," Strange warned sternly, "and don't mess with things in the house. If I come back and find—"

He left blank meaningfully, and by the way gave her a look of comprehension.

"No, I'm afraid." Petra stepped back.

"You can find your friends to accompany you," Strange said indifferently, "Whether it's playing games or watching TV, it's up to you."

So Petra went to ask her teammates.

But they don't seem too happy about it.

When Aiwa heard this, he raised his eyebrows: "But I want to go out and play, I have already bought cosplay clothes!"

"Yeah, I heard that there is a free chocolate distribution event in the park." Luke said full of longing.

"..." Petra asked, "are you eight-year-olds?"

"Halloween, what the mage said is right, it's quite special." Danny mused, "It's like the time of the devil."

Several people looked sideways.

What time does it meet?Do not know do not know.

In the end, only Danny was willing to accompany her to watch the house for others. The other two were still childlike and insisted on running out to play.

The two sat in a daze facing each other on the sofa in the living room, next to the faintly burning fireplace.Petra stared at the ball of green fire for a long time, wanting to chat with Danny, and then saw that he was meditating cross-legged on the cushion...

It's like being accompanied by no one.She sighed and looked out the window boredly.

Dressed up as little ghosts dressed in sheets, they walked by the side of the road one by one, holding shiny glow sticks in their hands.Followed by an older middle school girl, dressed like an elf queen, guiding them from time to time so that they do not deviate from the route.

Obviously, outdoor activities are much more interesting.

——Then, the surprise came.

The fire in the fireplace rose suddenly and shook violently, waking Danny up.The two turned their heads, and saw that the witch in black robe was stepping out from the fireplace while beating the ashes.

"Hi, good evening." Harry greeted, then stopped and looked around, "Is Doctor Strange not here?"

"Oh, what is he going to... the Necromancer? The party held by the Necromancer." Petra recalled, and asked again, "How did you get in? I remember Stephen said that a defensive spell was placed for this room, and anyone Can't get in or out..."

Harry was not too clear: "Maybe I said that I would come to him in the next two days? Since he's not here, forget it, and it's not in a hurry. What are you doing?"

"The gatekeeper." Petra replied distressedly, moved her body on the sofa and changed her sitting position, and made room for Harry by the way.

"What can I do with the doctor?" Danny asked.

"Nothing happened, don't worry." Harry smiled, "Tomorrow is Sirius' birthday, I want to prepare some presents, so I came to ask him for advice. Do you mind if I wait here for a while?"

Petra said she was happy to see the results.

"Let's play cards." She suggested, "Anyway, there is nothing to do, and Stephen also said that we can play casually, as long as we don't go out."

Danny shook his head: "I didn't bring any cards."

Petra rummaged through her schoolbag, but couldn't find it.

Harry was lost in thought: "Is the Transfiguration Charm okay? But I'm not very familiar with this..."

"It's okay, I'll look for it in the study."

Although the Supreme Mage is a mage, he occasionally performs "magic" to ordinary people, always using playing cards.After Petra finished speaking, she stood up, and Danny hesitated: "But the doctor said not to move around—"

He thought about it, and felt a little worried. Harry didn't want to stay alone, so he followed.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but the corridor tonight is much darker than before.Clusters of yellowish flames danced on the walls on both sides, dragging their shadows long and long until the end of the corridor.

Sure enough, it has a Halloween horror atmosphere.

Petra walked in front at first, then gradually slowed down, and walked side by side with them, asking in a low voice, "Why do I feel like we've been walking for a long time, why haven't we arrived yet?"

Danny is not as familiar with this place as she is, but he has been here once before, and he has a good memory, and his expression has become dignified at this time.In fact, even if you have never been here, you know that a normal house cannot accommodate such a length of corridor, unless...

"Ghost hitting the wall?"

"What?" Harry asked.

"If you don't understand, just ignore him." Petra said calmly.

"From the outside, it's quite small here." Harry looked up at the ceiling as he walked, "Did you use a space spell? Space folding?"

It is not surprising that the wizard's routine operation.

Petra could probably guess some, and said seriously: "I swear, there is absolutely no folding so much."

Unknowingly, the surroundings became incomparably quiet. Originally, some movement outside the house could be heard in the living room, but it has been completely isolated here.

The three of them leaned in the middle at the same time, and then looked at the other end of the corridor.It was dark and pitch black, and even the outline seemed to become distorted and blurred, as if being drawn into an unknown dimension of space.

Petra swallowed silently, her voice trembling slightly: "Should we go on?"

Harry took out his wand to block the front, pretending to be calm: "Shh, listen, is there any sound?"

Then the three of them stared with bated breath, staring closely at the shadow on the opposite side.

It wasn't an illusion, something shook in the darkness.

Its shape gradually became clear, separated from the fused background, enlarged, and approached——

Bang!

As the black shadow jumped out, the three of them screamed loudly, and the blue light from the tip of the holly wood wand flickered wildly with the sound waves along with the fireball in the corridor.

The huge antler head jumped into their field of vision, accompanied by a brisk, high-pitched chant:

"SURPRISE—"

Rocky Lauferson, on the day of Halloween on Earth, ran out to frighten children.

After screaming for three seconds, Petra finally exhausted the shock in her heart, took a breath, and quickly pointed to the opposite side: "Hit him!!"

Received active calls from two companions.

Harry rolled up his sleeves and went up, his wand silently drew a circle, and a flock of red birds screamed sharply, swooping down towards the target.

Even Danny, who was very calm on weekdays and looked very calm now, followed Petra without hesitation, grabbed everything that could be seen and touched in the corridor, and threw it all at once.If you look closely, you can tell the slight sweat on his tense face.

"Hey!" Prince Asgard yelled exaggeratedly, dodging left and right and jumping around, with a successful prank smile on his face, but protested in his mouth, "This is not your favorite festival in the middle court Is it? I try to do as the Romans do—”

A ball of spider silk bounced directly to his face and blocked his mouth.

Ten minutes later, the four returned to the living room of the Holy of Holies, nestling on the sofa by the fireplace and playing shuttle-ha.

Petra looked at the cards and asked, "How did you get here?"

If it was Loki, it would make sense to be able to break through Strange's spell and enter the Holy of Holies.What's more, he may have directly used the power of the space gem.

Sure enough, Loki replied calmly: "My brother is so boring, it's really hard to imagine myself living under his management...I decided to get rid of him."

"Pursue freedom?" Danny followed.

"Are you sure it's okay to come to Earth?" Petra raised an eyebrow, reminding him not to forget his heinous identity on Earth.

Rocky made a bet calmly, and talked eloquently: "The most dangerous place is the safest place."

Harry didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, and ordered: "Petty, you go and report him."

"Okay." Petra took out her mobile phone as she spoke, and tapped the keyboard to type.

Loki stopped her, turned it out of his pocket, and turned out a small blue square box, which was placed on the table.

The two stared at each other for a while.

"What do you mean? Bribe me?" Petra looked at the space gem, "What's the use of this?"

"Do whatever you want." Loki waved his hand nonchalantly, "I'll just come and play for a few days, just pretend you didn't see it."

Petra was worried: "If someone finds out, will I be wanted by S.H.I.E.L.D.?"

Loki didn't stay long, he looked out the window and was satisfied.Today is Halloween, adults and children are walking around in all kinds of clothes, he doesn't bother to dress himself up as an elite person, and walking out with this outfit will never attract attention.

Before the supreme mage came back, he played two games of cards with them and then slipped away.

"What the hell is she here for?" Petra wondered.

"It feels like I came here to scare you." Harry said thoughtfully.

Her eyes widened in disbelief.

"Because you are easier to scare." Danny also agreed.

"..."

"Men's bad taste." Harry shook his head and sighed, saying in a mature way.

Petra didn't want to admit it, but the atmosphere in the house was much lighter after this episode.After ten o'clock, she called Aunt Mei to report that she was safe, and then dug out a few sleeping bags from the storage room, planning to make a bed in the living room.

It's not that there are no sleeping rooms in the Holy of Holies, but since he promised to "guard" Strange, it's safer to stay here.

Halle had a year of escape experience and had no opinion on it.Turn up the fire a bit, and when they all got into their sleeping bags and leaned against the back of the sofa, she sighed, "Once, we escaped from the Ministry of Magic and we had to camp in the forest..."

"It's also a way of enriching life experiences," Danny reassures.

"Really." Harry's tone at this time was still brisk, recalling, "Hermione set up the tent, and we took turns to keep watch at night. When I arrived, I suddenly heard a strange sound coming from the distant woods— —”

Both of them listened intently, until there was a "click" outside the door, Harley's narration came to an abrupt end, and they also woke up suddenly.

"What noise?" Petra gripped the edge of her sleeping bag.

"You heard it right." Danny carefully distinguished and said, "It came from outside the corridor."

"Is Loki back?" she muttered in a low voice, reluctantly crawling out, ready to open the door to have a look.

But her keen spider sense made her stop just before holding the doorknob, and she was shocked.

At the same time, Danny also suddenly said: "Don't move!"

The three of them looked at each other without moving. Suddenly, the fire in the fireplace was extinguished.
