Earth Raiders progress report [comprehensive British and American]

It didn't take long for Peter to wake up. Although it can't be said that he woke up very quickly, he was much faster than ordinary people after being hit twice.

When he woke up, Joe hadn't left, and his head was still aching, but he still realized that he was locked in a bookcase. Thanks to the transparency of the cabinet, the bookstore manager sitting outside could still see clearly. But even so, he couldn't figure out why the other party did this.

"Who are you?" He opened his mouth, and found that his schoolbag was not left by his side with peace of mind, and there was an open schoolbag on the table next to the curly-haired youth, and the missing person notice inside was being held by the other party inside.

To be honest, this was not Joe’s deliberate behavior. It was just a coincidence. He just found out that Spider-Man was Joshua’s boyfriend. The other party came to him with a missing person notice. Joshua has no other relatives. , After being found, he will only be with Spider-Man, so it will not be so easy for him to see each other again.

He can actually lie and tell this New York hero next door that he hasn't met Joshua, but Spider-Man will ask other people nearby, and the people nearby will see Joshua go home with him, then It didn't work either, so even though a fairly impulsive, ill-advised, constitution-mutant hero would probably fight back, he did it anyway.

But now, he has to think about how to deal with the aftermath of his impulsive behavior.

It’s not that Joe has never killed before, but he is not a person who kills indiscriminately. Joshua is right. His daily good deeds are all sincere, and at the same time, he is not really a person in the traditional sense. Good people.

"You are a hero." The curly-haired bookstore manager stood opposite Peter. Contrary to his words, the young man's complexion was not good, but it was not a lie, which made it increasingly difficult for Peter to understand what the person in front of him was. What means.

Fortunately, Joe's next sentence made him judge something, "But you will only bring him danger."

The point of his word is actually not so clear, but Peter still has a certain guess subconsciously.

This bookstore manager can be said to be completely unfamiliar. He has no idea what enmity there can be between them. It is true that Spider-Man's enemies are not small, but his forgetfulness is not that great. Understand very clearly.

After Joshua became what he is now, he spent most of his time in the Avengers Building. Except for the possibility that Joshua got along with Joe after he ran away from home, it is difficult to explain why the other party can only see the photos of missing persons notices. Say what is so realistic.

It is absolutely certain that Joe has had contact with Joshua, but it is not certain how far their contact has reached. Judging from the behavior of the other party who attacked him and locked him in the bookcase, it is difficult to be optimistic. Thoughts, and Joshua still hadn't found it, he couldn't help worrying that this guy would be bad for Joshua.

Peter is still not quite sure whether he can smash this cabinet. He can't guarantee that it's just an ordinary book collection cabinet. Having said that, his speculation still needs to be confirmed. "You mean Joshua?"

The curly-haired young man was silent for a while. What he said before has already revealed a lot of information, so Joe still didn't deny it. Besides, although he hasn't decided how to deal with this superhuman - the brain will always have the idea of ​​​​killing the other person directly. Thoughts, but he really hasn't made up his mind yet - but since Spider-Man is Joshua's boyfriend, it means that he can get some information about Joshua from him.

Joe's reaction was tantamount to directly proving Peter's guess, which made him feel a lot worse. The other party's previous words always sounded like he liked his boyfriend, but if they only met recently, it would be quite Yu Qiao fell in love with Joshua when he was a child, which is no different from a pervert.

But even if the other party likes Joshua as an adult, it is not very normal to do this now.

The mask covered Peter's expression. Joe didn't know what Spider-Man was thinking in front of him. He just asked the question he cared about, "How did you know each other?"

In view of the fact that the manager of the bookstore, who looks like an ordinary person, does not have any means of torture, and his question does not seem to be threatening, but for some reason, Peter still answered it. Compared with usual, at this time The answer can be called extremely concise, "Someone robbed."

"Sounds like a Hollywood movie-style hero saving the beauty." Joe commented, looking thoughtful, and Peter couldn't help frowning under the mask when he saw the other party's reaction.

Peter felt right, he didn't explain the real situation at the time, it really seemed like a story of a hero saving the beauty, Joe was really thinking about it.

The grace of saving lives is important anyway, and Spider-Man is a real hero, so it is not difficult to explain why they are together, but as he said before, superheroes are indeed very romantic, but with superheroes Falling in love is not necessarily the case. Kissing in public like what he saw will only put Joshua in a dangerous situation. Joshua's appearance at this time is the best proof.

Peter didn't know what Joe was thinking, but he always had an ominous premonition. Based on the fact that he still had a spider sense, it showed that his ominous premonition might be true, which made him more and more worried. The safety of his missing boyfriend comes, "Is Joshua in your hands?"

"It has nothing to do with you." The curly-haired bookstore manager replied in a condescending tone.

Of course it couldn't have nothing to do with him.Thinking so, Joe's attitude still made Peter feel bad, especially after that, the other party glanced at the time again, and then left the basement.

The sound of the door closing on the stairs made Peter sure that the other party had left completely. The entire basement had no natural light coming in from the outside, and it was only lit by electric lights. When you are in a coma, it is almost the time for ordinary people to get off work.

A person who lives alone does not need to care about the early or late time to go home, especially since Joe is the store manager, it can be judged that he is quite free, not to mention that the other party seems to care about Joshua's news, so words like that come from his mouth It is reasonable to get some news inside. If he is in a hurry to go home, it can only mean that someone at home is waiting.

It would be fine if it was the parents, but if it was Joshua, he would inevitably worry about what the other party would do to Joshua after contacting Joe's previous performance.

In short, although I don't know if this bookcase can be broken, there is always no loss in trying.

When Joe returned home, Joshua had already made initial contact with the neighbor next door. Obviously, the manager of the bookstore was an ordinary good person in the impression of most people, but in the mouth of the male owner of this neighbor , Joe seems to be a freak who makes him sure like a prisoner. It is said that he is a supervisor in charge of parole prisoners, but according to Joshua's observation, this man seems to be a domestic violence victim.

He is not a good person, a disgusting existence in the traditional sense, but it cannot be said that his view of Joe is completely prejudiced, but this family, whether it is the father or the mother who has not been divorced so far, is a completely unqualified family.

Joshua didn't care about it, but it was a good excuse, he gave up fighting Joe because he wasn't sure about the success rate, as for the others, although he thought Joe might be a good excuse for him to go back, but now he has With a ready-made reason, he doesn't need to wait any longer.

So when the two were sitting at the dining table, he said, "I thought about it, you're right, I should go home."

This sudden announcement made Joe's movements pause. Obviously, for a child who ran away from home, this change of thought was a bit too fast, and it was completely beyond his expectations.

But after the accident, he still maintained his superficial calm, "What made you change your mind?"

"I visited our neighbors today." The word "we" seemed to have a special magic, and Joe felt as if he had calmed down from the inside out. He heard the brown-haired boy continue: "They... obviously There was some kind of really bad problem, and I realized that it was too capricious for me to run away from home."

In short, the translation of Joshua’s meaning is equivalent to seeing someone who is having a more difficult life than yourself, and suddenly discovers that the problems I thought were big are actually pediatrics, and I am simply in the midst of blessings. .

His appearance, words and deeds are always difficult to make people think that this is a rebellious child. Even if he did something like run away from home, it seems quite understandable. It is so easy to realize that this "problem" is actually very serious. Makes sense, but...

"Aren't you a self-willed guy?" The curly-haired young man said so, his expression was extraordinarily calm, but there was a faint hint of weirdness, "Pretending to be cute, but actually being completely self-centered, obviously I can accept it no matter what. , but why did you suddenly decide to go back and be a good boy?"

This speech caused the boy who was still a good boy just a second ago to turn his head expressionlessly. It is indeed surprising that Joe can see through his essence to a certain extent so easily, but he himself did not bother to pretend, It is not incredible to be seen through, the problem is only the reaction of the other party.

"Because it's very fulfilling to successfully deceive a superhero, or the development of the movie really made you like him?" At this point, the young man denied his guess, "No, you don't like him, otherwise you It won't appear in my bookstore either."

"You don't like him now," Jo decided, the word "now" emphasized, and he grabbed the boy's hand, which made Joshua's eyes turn cold.

But the young store manager seemed not to see the boy's expression, and continued: "You walked into the bookstore first, I am more useful, you should like me."

"So that's how it is." The boy with dark gray eyes opened his mouth like this, lowered his eyes and pulled out his grasped hand. The next second, the fork held in his right hand went straight into the back of the young man's hand, "You... ..."

Before he finished speaking, the door of the room was suddenly opened from the outside, and the two people at the dining table looked up, and it was Spiderman who was supposed to be locked up.
