Comic: Becoming a Phantom Thief to Steal Hearts

"Lucas? Lucas!"

Lucas looked up and saw the trio waving to him from the other side of the street.

When he crossed the sea of ​​​​people to join his companions, Lucas felt that his whole body was not good.

"Lucas has turned gray," Gwen said with a smile.

"There are too many people..." Lucas sighed.

His hearing is sharper than ordinary people, which also means that in such a crowded scene, Lucas will hear more sounds and bear more burdens.

Cheers, screams, cries, and all kinds of sounds poured in. It felt like my eardrums and temples were pounding. It was really unbearable.

"Lucas, are you feeling well?" Harry, wearing a black cloak and red contact lenses, dressed as a vampire, asked with concern.

"……well enough."

Although it was indeed a little uncomfortable, it was within Lucas' tolerance range.

"Huh? But you really don't look very good." Peter, wearing gray fake ears and dressed as a werewolf, came over.

"If you feel uncomfortable, why don't you go sit in the restaurant next to you?" Gwen said with the little devil's horn on her head.

Only the straight girl Mindy was confused, "Huh?"

The five of them found a roadside restaurant. The transparent floor-to-ceiling windows allowed them to see the carnival on the road. After hearing that Gwen and Peter hadn't eaten yet, Harry asked for some desserts to be brought up.

However, looking at the eyes on the bloody cake, Lucas felt that he had no appetite.

"Um..." Harry held the fork with a complicated expression on his face, unable to make a decision.

"Isn't this strawberry jam? It's delicious." Gwen gave a thumbs up and strongly recommended it.

"Yeah." Mindy's cheeks were full and she nodded repeatedly.

"Is it so delicious?" Peter listened to the two girls' recommendations and couldn't help but take a spoonful, "Ah... so sweet!"

"It's indeed a bit sweet." Lucas shook his head, "Actually, it would be better if it was a little sour."

"I know, I know, Aunt May makes the best lemon pie." Peter said in agreement.

"Do you want it sweeter? I think it's just right." Mindy said, smiling at Harry, "Thank you, Osborne."

"Just call me Harry." Harry looked at this childish-looking girl and was secretly surprised. Could such a young child be a member of the Phantom Thieves?

"Oh?" Mindy's eyes lit up. Lucas was right. Harry did not have any airs of being a young man. At least so far, her impression of Harry was pretty good.

"My name is Mindy McCready." Mindy smiled, "Just call me Mindy."

"Okay, Mindy." Harry smiled slightly.

The cheers outside the window suddenly came like a tide. Everyone looked out the window subconsciously and found that the stage in the center of the square was lit up. The climax of tonight's celebration was finally coming.

With the appearance of the famous rock band, the atmosphere was heightened to the climax. Various lights formed gorgeous light strips in the sky. Everyone sang and danced with excited smiles on their faces.

Lucas shook his head and rejected the invitation of his companions, and sat alone in the empty restaurant. Everyone had gone to the square outside to party, as if he was the only one who could not fit into this noisy world.

"...It's so noisy." Archipald appeared on the chair next to him, his whole little face wrinkled.

He looked at the cake in front of Lucas with disgust, "Your taste is getting weirder and weirder."

"Huh? This is a Halloween-themed cake, not my taste." Lucas said innocently.

"Is this thing also called a cake?" Archipal snorted. He naturally picked up the spoon in front of Lucas and took a bite. The moment he entered the mouth, he spit out, "Ouch! This is too sweet. Got it!"

"Yeah, I think so too," Lucas agreed.

He picked up the plate of ordinary cookies next to him and placed it in front of Archipal, "Try this, it's good."

Archipald, who had a wrinkled face and a lively expression, suddenly fell silent. He stared at the small dessert in front of him intently, like a statue.

Although Archipal was not friendly when they first met, as they got along slowly, Lucas gradually understood his character.

Although Archipald often keeps his mouth shut, in fact he may be the one who cares about Lucas the most, not to mention that he and Lucas' past are inextricably linked.

Seeing that Archipal seemed to be stunned, Lucas was stunned for a moment, "What's wrong?"

When Archipal came back to his senses, he suddenly suppressed all his emotions, his face suddenly turned cold, and he said calmly: "I'm fine."

He lowered his eyes and said, "I'm leaving."

"Eh?"

Although Archipal has always appeared and disappeared at will, this time it was extremely abrupt.

"Leaving now?" Lucas was a little surprised.

"Yeah." Archipald responded softly.

But before disappearing, he hesitated and took a cookie from the plate.

"……Thanks."

Lucas couldn't help but smile softly. He looked at the transparent glass, and the smile on his face slowly disappeared. When he was getting along with Archipal just now, it had never appeared on the glass from beginning to end. Archipal's shadow, and no one can see him, as if the arrogant little boy is just a reflection in real life, and it was just his hallucination from the beginning.

"Huh~ Lucas, it's a pity that you didn't come out just now. You don't know how lively it is outside!"

The companions did not forget Lucas who was alone indoors, but returned to the restaurant and sat down during the intermission.

"That's right, the atmosphere is so good, I almost got high when I heard it." Harry said with a smile, his cheeks flushed, adding a hint of blush to his pale cheeks.

The hair that had been neatly combed and fixed with mousse fell down, but Harry didn't care about his embarrassment at all and smiled full of vigor.

"That's really good." Lucas smiled slightly, "Just enjoy it."

"What do you mean, I just enjoy it." Harry put his arms around Lucas's neck and complained: "It makes it seem like I'm the one from out of town, but you are obviously the one participating in the Halloween parade for the first time, okay! "

"Harry, it's your first time too, okay?" Gwen smiled and put Harry on the spot.

"Me too, me too." Mindy raised her hand, and she looked at Harry curiously, "Why is this your first time to participate?"

Gwen and Peter both looked skilled, but Harry was obviously a little reluctant to let go at first, but in the end, driven by the atmosphere, he began to sing and dance with the crowd.

"Um..." Harry's face looked a little unnatural when he mentioned this, "Father has been very strict with me and has a curfew, so I haven't participated in such interesting activities."

"Eh--fortunately, dad didn't have much control over me in this regard." Mindy pointed at her makeup that was starting to look a little stained, and said proudly: "Today's makeup was done by dad. .”

A trace of envy flashed in Harry's eyes. In front of his friends, Mindy was very carefree and easy to get along with, and she was not wary. Harry easily understood that Mindy was actually from a single-parent family just like him. But a poor person is just as rich as a poor person. But Harry wants the care of his family more than wealth. But at this point, Norman is horribly stingy.

Suddenly there was an exclamation outside the window. Everyone looked out the window and found that people were pointing to the sky and discussing something.

A green smoke appeared in the night sky, approaching the venue of the Halloween parade.

"what is that?"

"It must be something new this year."

It wasn't until the unknown object passed by the crowded square that people could clearly see that it seemed to be an aircraft with a person standing on it.

Thinking this was the organizer's sideshow, people cheered excitedly, waved to the man, and whistled loudly.

"That's..." Only Harry frowned and looked at the figure in the sky. The aircraft he was stepping on looked very much like an abandoned project of the Osborne Group.

This tool of aerial combat was not appreciated by the military after the appearance of Tony Stark's Iron Suit, and was thrown into the wastebasket.

The green figure on the aircraft laughed crazily and threw a round ball to the crowd. On this day when everyone was very happy, no one thought it was a dangerous thing. There were even children who wanted to get excited to catch it. .

But tragedy just happened. The ball exploded the moment it touched the ground. The explosion at close range immediately claimed the lives of many people, and shattered limbs flew everywhere.

The crowd fell into silence at that moment. Some people touched the blood spattered on their faces and the internal organs hanging on their clothes. This time they realized what had happened, and then there were screams that echoed throughout the square.

People began to flee in all directions. Under the threat of death, no one dared to slow down. Many people even fell down and serious stampede accidents occurred.

Looking at the chaos below, the green shadow laughed wildly. He was like a cat teasing a mouse, dropping a bomb wherever the crowd tried to run.

As the casualty rate increases, a happy carnival turns into a bloody tragedy.

"This bastard!"

The moment it happened, Peter stood up and ran directly outside.

"Hey, Peter!" Harry wanted to catch Peter.

It's a mess outside now, but they feel safer indoors.

But Peter was so fast that his fingertips didn't even touch Peter's body.

"I'll go too." Mindy said with a dark face.

The little girl is in a very bad mood now. This is her first time to participate in a large event with her friends, but this is the result.

"Mindy?!"

Harry couldn't stop Peter, and naturally he couldn't stop Mindy. He watched helplessly as the two of them walked against the current, heading to the most dangerous place.

He couldn't help but look at Lucas and Gwen beside him. Lucas still looked indifferent, while Gwen frowned and was quite worried, but neither of them looked like stopping Peter and Mindy. .

"Why didn't any of you react?" Harry asked in confusion, "Aren't you a member of the Phantom Thieves?"

"...This is not my battlefield." Gwen lowered her head until her fingers turned white.

"Don't worry about them," Lucas said.

They had dealt with nothing along the way, and he trusted Peter and Mindy.

Harry froze.

"Spider-Man!"

"Spider-Man is here!"

"saved!"

People's cries for help made him look out the window again. The superhero he briefly saw at Osborne Tower that day rushed towards the green figure dressed as a devil without hesitation.

Peter kicked the Green Goblin down unceremoniously. The Green Goblin fell from a high altitude onto the tent and was immediately pointed at the head by the police who arrived quickly.

Such impact did not seem to cause any harm to the Green Goblin. He climbed up from the ground indifferently and raised his hands, "okok, I surrender."

George signaled the policeman beside him to handcuff the Green Goblin. He looked up at Spider-Man squatting on the street lamp. The bastard was waving to him. Officer George snorted coldly and ignored Peter at all. Peter was embarrassed to be ignored. He touched his nose. It seemed that he still had a long way to go on the road to conquering his father-in-law.

As soon as the police came to the Green Goblin, the Green Goblin suddenly became violent. He quickly bent his hand and hit the police officer on the head with an elbow. The poor police officer fell to the ground without even letting out a scream.

Realizing that the Green Goblin had no intention of surrendering, the police immediately pulled the trigger and planned to kill the terrorist. However, the Green Goblin was unexpectedly agile. Even if a bullet occasionally hit the Goblin, he was still shot by that very-looking piece of equipment. The childish demon armor bounced off.

"It's actually bulletproof." Officer George's face darkened.

Peter was startled and wanted to step forward to stop the Green Goblin. He saw the Green Goblin laughing proudly and snapping his fingers. Countless beeping sounds came from the surrounding tall buildings, followed by violent explosions and large swathes of walls falling. , and there are a large number of people on the streets. If left alone, it will undoubtedly be another tragedy.

Peter gritted his teeth, turned around, and went to save people first.

When the Green Goblin was feeling proud, a strong sense of crisis came from behind him, and he narrowly avoided the sharp blade.

A little girl wearing a mask appeared in the shadows. She held the handle of the knife and made a regretful cry.

"It won't be so easy for you to escape next time." Mindy said with murderous intent.

"Kid, leave quickly!" George shouted at Mindy, "Danger!"

Mindy was wearing a mask and couldn't see her facial features clearly, but her petite figure made everyone understand that she was just a little girl.

"I know you, Super Killer." Green Goblin said hoarsely.

Mindy frowned and looked at her warily.

"This is just a hello, we will meet again."

"Do you think you can still escape?" Mindy sneered.

"Careful!" A shot of spider thread hit Mindy's waist and pulled her back.

Several bullets passed by Mindy's cheek.

"what?"

Mindy in the air looked sideways, the invisible aircraft revealed its true mask, and the black muzzle protruded from the bottom, showing its side as a killing tool.

"It's a pity that I didn't get to see the blood of the lovely lady." The Green Goblin smiled and bowed, and the aircraft automatically flew to his side.

"see you later."

He stepped on the aircraft and quickly left the scene.
