Marvel: The Twelve Spells.

Chapter 112
In the early morning of December 12th, colored lights were also hung in New York's special prisons, and Christmas trees were also placed in public areas, creating a strong festive atmosphere.

In a prison cell, Dr. Connors, who had not slept all night, stood under the only high window in the room, looking up at the dark world outside through the window of less than one square meter.

Occasionally, a searchlight swept across, piercing the night like a lightsaber, but it passed by in a flash.

Another beam of light swept across the night, and Dr. Conners raised his right hand, looked down at the newborn arm, and fell into thought again.

After a long time, there was a sudden sound of skin cracking. The skin of Dr. Conners' whole body gradually turned green, and his arm also began to grow bigger, and then sharp nails grew out.

The characteristics of the lizard began to emerge, and after a long period of precipitation, his gene fusion with the lizard was more thorough.

"From the day Jesus was born, create a world without weaknesses..." The voice kept getting hoarse, and finally it was a lizard man who said the second half of the sentence.

……

Twelve hours later, Chief George, who had already been on vacation, returned to the police station.

"That is to say, Dr. Connors escaped from your prison's defensive firepower within 3 minutes?" Chief George said with a deep expression, "I thought he planned a long-term perfect escape with his high IQ, Suspenseful enough to be made into a movie..."

"He's not Dr. Connors, but a lizard man!" The prison staff had an ugly expression on their faces, "It happened to be the guard shift at that time, and the firepower was a little weak...he got rid of our detection equipment, but according to his moving direction, his destination is New York."

"But it's unrealistic for you to ask me to find Dr. Connors now. There are 800 million people in New York. Finding him is undoubtedly a needle in a haystack!" Director George interrupted him directly, "All we can do is issue a wanted warrant. Temporary additional patrol police officers..."

After the conversation, Director George sat alone in the office, frowning and looking sad.

Suddenly he remembered his daughter Gwen, who was going to the Christmas ball at school tonight, and the Lizardmen were arrested when they attacked the Midtown Institute of Technology...

Thinking of this, George picked up the mobile phone on the desk and called Gwen.

At Stacey's house, Gwen, who had just changed into a dress, was combing her hair. Her movements were a little impatient, because Luo Xia's car had stopped downstairs of her house a few minutes ago.

Suddenly the phone rang, and she hurried to get it again.

"Dad, if you don't have anything urgent, you can talk about it at home at night. I'm very busy now!"

Speaking of Gwen touching up her lipstick in the mirror, she carefully observed her makeup to make sure there were no blemishes.

"Are you going to the school Yule Ball tonight?"

"Yes, I said that a long time ago!" Gwen put on a pair of silver four-leaf clover earrings in front of the mirror.

"Dr. Connors has escaped from prison, and the Lizardman has returned to New York." George said bluntly.

Gwen was stunned for a moment. The news didn't shock her much, but at this moment, it ruined her good mood.

"I think he is very likely to launch a terrorist attack on your school. That's where he was first arrested. What purpose has he not accomplished yet?" George said in a deep voice, "But the police have no basis and no The right to suspend this Christmas ball and evacuate the crowd, all I can do is to increase the police force, so I advise you not to go to the school Christmas ball tonight, and Luo Xia..."

"Dad, it was just a coincidence that Dr. Connors attacked the school last time. There won't be what he needs there. As the intern leader of his team, I know this clearly..." Gwen explained, "Maybe You can go to his house to have a look, as well as the Osborne Group, and then pay attention to those sewer exits, you will gain more."

Gwen knew that the last time the Lizardmen came to the school to find Peter Parker, and now that he knew that Peter had dropped out of school, there was no reason for him to launch another attack.

And even if the lizardman will attack the school again tonight, then Gwen should arrive at the campus first. She will appear faster to ensure everyone's safety, and defeat the lizardman again and send him back to prison.

"Very good proposals, I'll take them all." George said unhurriedly, "But if you stay at home tonight, there will be no danger."

"This is the once-a-year Christmas ball! I made an appointment with Luo Xia a long time ago, and I won't be in any danger with him..." Gwen's tone was very firm.

"If you have any questions, call me in time, and ensure your own safety first under any circumstances."

George said helplessly that he was not the kind of authoritarian parent, and he always respected Gwen's own opinion.

As for what Gwen said, "I will not be in any danger with him", George only regards it as blindness among passionate lovers.

Although Luo Xia is very good, he may not be able to deal with ordinary armed gangsters, let alone the lizard man who can escape from a heavily guarded prison. A slap of the lizard man may kill Luo Xia... …

"I hope it won't affect the beautiful dance tonight..." Gwen put down her phone and said to herself, as if praying.

Suddenly, a message sounded, and it was a message from Luo Xia.

Gwen got busy again, combing her hair and putting on corresponding hair accessories on it.

Gwen hurriedly put on a pair of high heels, and pushed the door out with her backpack.

"Remember to ask Luo Xia to come to dinner with me tonight..." Mrs. Stacey's voice came from behind.

Beside a Ford car, Luo Xia leaned on the body and stared at the exit of the apartment. He was still wearing a formal black suit, without any accessories on his body, but holding a handful of bright red roses in his arms.

But these simple clothes are very attractive when paired with his face. In the past few minutes, Luo Xia has attracted the attention of several women, and some even saw him driving an old and worn-out Ford. , and took the initiative to talk to her...

Soon he saw a delicate and tall figure at the exit. Gwen was bouncing around and seemed to be in a good mood, but when she saw Luo Xia, her pace slowed down and her image became graceful.

Gwen was wearing a black dress, showing her fair neck. Every time she took a step, her high-heeled shoes made a clicking sound on the floor. She smiled like a noble black swan.

The two stared at each other intently, and slowly smiled knowingly.

Luo Xia took a few steps forward and sent the bouquet of roses.

"Merry Christmas!" Lorshaw looked at Gwen with delicate makeup and said, "You are so beautiful."

"Thank you," Gwen took the rose and hugged it to her chest, "You are as handsome as usual..."

The two looked at each other for a few more seconds before hugging and kissing.

While opening the co-pilot's door, Luo Xia took out a toilet paper and wiped off the stained lipstick on his lips.

Gwen turned her head and waved goodbye to her younger brother Howard, who was peeking at the upstairs window, before getting into the car.

Christmas streets are very lively, Ford cars are driving slowly in the traffic.

"What's going on?" Luo Xia accurately caught a trace of sadness from Gwen's smiling face, and his hands covered Gwen's thighs in black stockings, "Say it, maybe I can solve your troubles."

"Dr. Connors escaped from prison, and now he is in New York City. I don't know what conspiracy is brewing." There is no need to hide this from Luo Xia, Gwen continued, "I know Dr. Connors, he is a For a scholar who can endure loneliness, life in prison is not difficult for him, he must do something to escape from there..."

"The unlucky one should be him. No matter what kind of conspiracy the villain implements, he will be stopped by the righteous superhero, right? You are Spider-Woman." Luo Xia joked with a smile, "You even stopped the devil's conspiracy, Captain America It is said that you have made great achievements, and it is easy to defeat the little lizardman."

"I never doubted that I couldn't defeat the Lizardman," Gwen Xin readily accepted his praise, "I was just worried that he would disturb tonight's Christmas ball."

"Then he will be even more unlucky, I promise!" Luo Xia said lightly, "By the way, there is one more thing."

Luo Xia said as he rubbed Gwen's thigh in black stockings, and Gwen looked at him with some doubts.

"what?"

"When you come to my house tonight, remember to bring this dress, as well as makeup and accessories, I like it very much." Luo Xia said seriously.

Gwen: "Huh?..."

The venue of the Christmas ball at Midtown Institute of Technology is full of three Christmas colors: red, green and white. Lanterns and flowers are all over the room, and there is a large Christmas tree in the center of the dance floor.

It was decorated by a felled cypress tower-shaped evergreen tree, with colorful lights, gifts and paper flowers hanging on it, and Christmas candles were lit.

Lorshaw and Gwen were ushered into the venue by a waiter wearing a red skirt with a white edge. There was heating inside, and the lively Christmas songs played by the orchestra lingered in their ears.

Lorshaw looked around, Gwen was enjoying the Christmas ball...

……

As night fell slowly in New York, the streetlights on South 54th Street came on sequentially from end to end.

The lizard man wrapped in a blanket appeared in the blind spot of the surveillance, carrying a huge glass container on his back, which was filled with a green unknown solution.

The Lizardman pushed open the side door of the Osborne Group headquarters building and entered. After the glass door closed, those noisy "Jingle Bells" were finally shut out.

On Christmas Day, there were only a few people on duty in the headquarters of the Osborne Group. The lizardman with strong perception easily avoided the crowd and came to an elevator.

After entering the password, the elevator went up quickly, and finally stopped at the research floor of the biomedical department. The lizard man got out of the elevator. He walked in while looking at the familiar office space.

Dr. Conners is a leading scientist in the herpetology community in the world. He has worked here for more than ten years, dealing with those lizards and spiders every day. Now, after a few months, he has returned here again.

Different from the slow progress of research in the past, which made people feel depressed, today he came back again, and finally he was able to complete his lifelong pursuit...

The lizard man walked all the way to the depths of the office, he opened several safety valves, and finally came to a secret office.

In the middle of the office is a biological tree displayed with holographic projection technology, surrounded by various experimental equipment, and the workstations are all empty. It seems that no one has worked here for a long time.

The office has been vacant since Dr. Conners left.

The lizard man didn't even look at the high-end decorations and expensive research equipment. He slowly came to the innermost part and looked at the huge scientific instruments inside through a layer of glass.

Next to each piece of equipment in this laboratory is a nameplate label, which contains a detailed introduction to the equipment, including name, function, production year, quality inspection period, use records, etc.

But on the nameplate label of this scientific instrument, there is only a simple name: "Canary Device", other than that, there is no introduction or information.

If the rest of the staff, including many of Osborn's senior management, saw this nameplate, they would definitely be confused, but this would not include Dr. Connors, the researcher and developer of this device.

Richard Parker and Kurt Connors developed the Canary device many years ago.

The use of the device is very simple, but the effect is very huge.

Just load an antigen on the Canary device, and the reaction cloud it creates can cover the surrounding area, or even the entire city. In theory, a Canary device can cure polio in the entire city in one afternoon.

But later, the developer Richard Parker personally disabled the Canary device.

The reason for his opposition is also very simple, in case the Canary device is loaded with some kind of poisonous substance, or the patient is unwilling to accept the treatment, there is no way for him to escape from the scope of this reaction cloud.

As a result, the entire project was grounded, the production plan was suspended, and the world's only Canarian device was shelved, left to be buried in dust.

"Richard, I didn't expect that after 20 years, we could still fulfill our original dream together..." the lizardman's hoarse voice sounded.

"Did anything unusual happen? Strangers broke in or something?"

George listened to his daughter's suggestion, and just after he inspected Dr. Connors' home, he brought several police officers into the Osborne Building non-stop, and he questioned the security personnel.

"Nothing unusual!" The security staff looked at several police officers suspiciously, "Sir, if you want to enter, you need to show the corresponding search warrant, or I will call the management staff to negotiate with you."

"No, we are just doing routine patrol." George refused, "Be careful tonight, and call the police if there is any danger."

The security staff was taken aback, criminals also have Christmas, right?What the officer in front of him said made him a little nervous...

A group of police officers turned and left. Suddenly, George stopped. He squatted down slowly. There were a few clear marks on the floor, as if he had been clawed by some wild animal. The tiny cracks were not filled with dust. Full, like a new one...

　In the evening there is a chapter of four to five thousand words... around eleven o'clock.
