Marvel: The Twelve Spells.

Chapter 16 Lizardmen

Traffic jams on the Brooklyn Bridge.

Today is the evening rush hour for commuting, and the honking of horns is one after another. Drivers use this method to vent their restlessness and dissatisfaction.

At this time, whether you are driving a luxury supercar or a cheap private car, you can only move a few meters in the traffic flow in a few minutes.

In a yellow taxi, Dr. Conners, who was still wearing white overalls, was pale, and he pressed his forehead hard on the front seat to relieve his pain.Beads of sweat the size of soybeans fell from his head.

Dr. Conners pinched the newly grown left hand with his right hand, and the white cortex continued to peel off from the newly grown left hand, followed by severe pain.

"Hey, sir, are you okay?" The taxi driver noticed something was wrong with the passengers in the back seat, and he asked tentatively.

"It's okay, I'm fine!" Dr. Conners' voice was hoarse, but the taxi driver felt that the voice was roaring like a beast.

The driver carefully observed the passengers in the rear seat through the rearview mirror, and suddenly he was taken aback!

Connors' neck and half of his face turned blue, and that blue color continued to spread, like a monster in a movie that is changing from a human to a beast...

"Sir, you look very bad, do you want me to take you to the hospital?" the driver said boldly.

"No, thank you." Connors raised his head and looked at the driver in the mirror. At this time, his face had completely turned blue.

Connors opened the door and got out of the car, walking slowly in the traffic on the Brooklyn Bridge...

……

"Demon and Spider-Woman?" Lorshaw paused as he cut the lemon perch with a knife.

"Yes, what do you think of them?" George looked directly into Lorsha's eyes, which seemed to see through everything.

"Two anarchists." Luo Xia said lightly. He picked up a side dish of broccoli with a fork and slowly chewed it in his mouth.

"That's all?" George became interested, and Luo Xia's answer actually coincided with him, "As far as I know, you young people all admire these powerful and free people. Many people on the Internet claim that They are righteous superheroes, and videos of them toying with the police are always going to go viral, getting tons of views and likes."

"The devil is a criminal, and only people with distorted values ​​will worship criminals!" Luo Xia put down the knife and said, "Spider-Woman still has a long way to go. A real superhero will not stand against the police."

Gwen almost couldn't help rolling her eyes when she saw Luo Xia's serious look. Who told her that she worshiped demons before?
At the beginning, Luo Xia said it swearingly, but now facing his father, the chief of the police station, Luo Xia changed his rhetoric again!
Gwen really didn't know whether to call him a clever man or a liar full of lies.

George raised his drink and signaled everyone to toast. He smiled for the first time tonight, and now he was even more satisfied with Lorshaw.

George said to Gwen: "You should learn his sanity and way of seeing things."

"Oh, I will, Dad!" Gwen sighed softly with her head lowered and her forehead supported.

If you really know what kind of person Luo Xia is, you won't let me learn from him!
The dinner was going on happily, when suddenly there was a rush of mobile phone ringing, which broke the warm atmosphere in the restaurant.

George took out his mobile phone to answer, and the person on the other end of the phone just said a few words before his face sank.

After hanging up the phone, George got up and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, maybe I'm going to be excused. I have some matters to deal with at the police station!"

"Daddy, is the devil coming? He's causing damage again?" Howard asked in a childish voice.

"No, this time it's a criminal who never showed up." George picked up his suit. "A monster that looks like a lizard attacked the Brooklyn Bridge. There is a traffic jam on the bridge, and many citizens have not had time to evacuate."

George left after briefly explaining the situation, and the rest of the people at the table were in no mood to continue eating.Besides Luo Xia, he also ate with relish.

The attention of Gwen's two younger brothers was attracted by the lizard monster described by Dad. It sounds like the lizard man is a mutant race similar to Spider-Woman.

Gwen and her mother were worried about George. After all, they knew that the criminals the police were going to deal with tonight were a little tricky, and the case was very complicated.

Gwen was already thinking about how to sneak out. She had never heard of a lizard-man monster, and she wanted to see it to protect her father's safety.She didn't think her father and a bunch of cops could take on the Lizardmen.

"He is always like this. He often rushes out after receiving a call from the police station when he is off work and on vacation." Gwen's mother said, "This is bad in my opinion. Work and life should not affect each other."

"It's his job, Mom," Gwen reassured.

"Mr. George is a competent police chief," Rorschach added.

"Okay, dinner is over, I'll take you downstairs, Luoxia." Gwen took Luoxia's hand and left.

"Gwen!" Mrs. Stacey was a little dissatisfied with her daughter's impolite behavior.

"It's getting late, it's time to go home, and I've finished eating, thank you for your hospitality!" Luo Xia also said with a smile, and he naturally understood Gwen's thoughts.

"Well, you are welcome to come back next time, and remember to stay away from the Brooklyn Bridge when you go back." Mrs. Stacey said with a smile, "Also, I like the brooch you gave me very much!"

Gwen took Luoxia down the stairs in the elevator, and finally arrived at the parking lot.

"I thought tonight would be a good night." Luo Xia said with a smile, "I didn't expect a damned lizardman to appear."

"That's good enough!" Gwen said. "My parents love you, and you're doing great."

"I've always been very likable!" Luo Xia said confidently.

"Then you should go to the school forum and see the list of who is the most annoying in Midtown Tech!" Gwen shook her head and said, "I won't tell you that your name is at the top of the list."

"Be careful on the road, bye." Gwen retreated to the side of the road and waved.

"See you tomorrow." Luo Xia drove the Ford out.

Before the Ford car left Parklow Avenue, Luo Xia looked up out of the window, and a black and white figure crossed the street.

The driver who was waiting for the red light was also attracted by the voice, "It's Spider-Woman!" Someone pointed to the sky and shouted.

Spider-Woman kept shooting spider webs and dangling between the buildings, and soon disappeared at the corner of the street, which was the direction of the Brooklyn Bridge.

Luo Xia loosened his seat belt and unbuttoned his suit one by one.

He slowly took out a demon mask from inside his clothes...
