Marvel: The Twelve Spells

In the early morning of December 25, colored lights were also hung in New York's special prisons, and Christmas trees were placed in the public areas, creating a strong festive atmosphere.

In a cell, Dr. Connors, who had not slept all night, stood under the only high window in the room, raising his head and staring 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. Dr. Connors 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. Dr. Connors's skin gradually turned green, and his arm began to grow in size, and then sharp nails grew.

The characteristics of the lizard began to emerge, and after a long period of precipitation, his genetic fusion with the lizard became more complete.

"Starting from the day Jesus was born, we will 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 been on leave, returned to the police station.

"In other words, Dr. Connors completed the escape within three minutes despite the defensive firepower of your prison?" Director George's face was dark, "I thought he used his high IQ to plan a perfect escape that had been prepared for a long time. Suspenseful enough to be made into a movie..."

"He is not Dr. Connors, but a lizard man!" The prison staff looked ugly. "It happened to be the guard shift at that time, and the firepower was a bit weak... He got rid of our detection equipment, but according to his movement direction, his destination is New York.”

"But it's unrealistic for you to ask me to find Dr. Connors now. There are eight 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. , temporarily dispatch additional patrol police officers..."

After the conversation, Director George sat alone in the office, his brows furrowed and his face sad.

Suddenly he thought of his daughter Gwen, who was going to the school's Christmas dance tonight, and the lizard man was arrested when he attacked the Midtown Institute of Technology...

Thinking of this, George picked up the mobile phone on his desk and dialed Gwen's number.

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

Suddenly the phone rang, and she hurriedly went to get it.

"Dad, if you don't have anything urgent, you can talk to me when you get home tonight. I'm very busy now!"

As Gwen touched up her lipstick in the mirror, she carefully observed her makeup to make sure there were no flaws.

"You're going to the school Christmas dance tonight?"

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

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

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

"I think he is very likely to launch a terrorist attack on your school. That is where he was first arrested. He has not yet completed his purpose." George said in a deep voice, "But the police have no basis and no evidence." I have the right to stop this Christmas dance and evacuate the crowd. All I can do is to send more police, so I advise you not to attend the school Christmas dance tonight, and Luo Xia..."

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

Gwen knew that the last time the lizard came to school was to find Peter Parker. Now that he knew that Peter had dropped out of school, he had no reason to launch another attack.

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

"It's a very good suggestion, and I will accept it all." George said unhurriedly, "But if you stay at home tonight, there will be no danger."

"This is the annual Christmas ball! Luo Xia and I have made an appointment a long time ago, and I won't be in any danger with him here..." Gwen said firmly.

"If you have any questions, please call me in time. Under any circumstances, you must first ensure your own safety."

George said with some helplessness that he was not the kind of authoritarian parent and that he always respected Gwen's own opinions.

As for what Gwen said, "I won't be in any danger with him here," George only saw it as a blind couple in love.

Although Rorschach is excellent, he may not have a solution when facing ordinary armed gangsters, let alone a lizardman who can escape from a tightly guarded prison. A lizardman could probably kill Rorschach with a slap... …

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

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

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

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

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

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

But these simple clothes were particularly attractive when paired with his face. In these few minutes, Luo Xia had attracted the attention of several women, and some even saw that he was driving an old Ford. , and even took the initiative to talk...

Soon he saw a pretty and tall figure at the exit. Gwen was jumping up and down and seemed to be in a good mood. But when she saw Luo Xia, her pace slowed down and her image became elegant.

Gwen was wearing a black dress, revealing her white neck. Her high heels made a clicking sound on the floor with every step she took. She had a smile on her face, like a noble black swan.

The two stared at each other intently, and slowly showed a knowing smile.

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

"Merry Christmas! (Merry Christmas)" Luo Xia looked at Gwen with exquisite makeup and said, "You are so beautiful."

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

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

Luo Xia opened the passenger door and took out toilet paper to wipe off the lipstick on her lips.

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

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

"What happened?" Luo Xia accurately caught a hint of sadness from Gwen's smiling face. His hands covered Gwen's thighs covered with black stockings. "Tell me, and maybe I can solve your trouble."

"Dr. Connors has escaped from prison. Now he is in New York City, and he doesn't know what conspiracy is brewing." There is no need to hide this matter from Rosha. 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 have done something to escape from there..."

"The unlucky one should be him. No matter what conspiracy the villain implements, he will be stopped by the righteous superhero, right? You are Spider-Woman." Luo Xia laughed and teased, "You even stopped the devil's conspiracy, Captain America It’s said that you have great achievements, defeating the little lizard man is easy.”

"I never doubted that I couldn't defeat the lizard man," Gwen accepted his praise happily. "I was just worried that he would disturb the Yule Ball tonight."

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

Luo Xia said and rubbed Gwen's thighs covered with black stockings. Gwen looked at him with some doubts.

"What?"

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

Gwen: "Huh?..."

The Christmas dance venue at Midtown Institute of Technology was filled with the three Christmas colors of red, green and white, with lights and flowers all over the room, and a large Christmas tree in the center of the dance floor.

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

Luo Xia and Gwen were led into the venue by a waiter wearing a red skirt with white edges. There was heating inside, and the light Christmas songs played by the orchestra lingered in their ears.

Luo Xia looked around, while Gwen enjoyed the Christmas dance...

…

Night slowly falls in New York, and the street lights on the south side of 54th Street light up one after another.

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

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

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

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

Dr. Connors is the world's leading herpetologist. He has worked here for more than ten years, dealing with 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 frustrated, today he returned again and was finally able to complete his lifelong pursuit...

The lizard man traveled deeper into 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 using holographic projection technology. It is surrounded by various experimental equipment and the workstations are all empty. It seems that no one has been working here for a long time.

The office has been vacant since Dr. Connors left.

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

There is a nameplate label next to each piece of equipment in this laboratory, which contains a detailed introduction to the equipment, including its name, function, production year, quality inspection year, usage 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 Osborne executives, saw this nameplate, they would definitely be confused, but this would not include Dr. Connors, the developer of this equipment.

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

The device is very simple to use, but its effect is huge.

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

However, later, developer Richard Parker personally disabled the Canary Device.

The reason he opposed its use was also very simple. If the Canary device was loaded with some toxic substance, or the patient was unwilling to receive treatment, he would not be able to escape the scope of this reaction cloud.

As a result, the entire project was shelved, production plans were halted, and the world's only Canary device was left to bury itself in the dust.

"Richard, I didn't expect that twenty years later, we could still complete our original dream together..." The lizard man's hoarse voice sounded.

"Did anything unusual happen? A stranger broke in or something like that?"

George listened to his daughter's advice. As soon as he inspected Dr. Connors' home, he led several police officers into the Osborne Building without stopping. He asked the security personnel.

"There is nothing unusual!" The security guard looked at the police officers with confusion. "Sir, if you want to enter, you need to present the corresponding search warrant, or I will call the management to negotiate with you."

"No, we are just on routine patrol." George refused, "Be safe tonight and call the police anytime if there is danger."

The security guard was stunned. Criminals also want to celebrate Christmas, right? The words of the police officer in front of him made him a little nervous...

A group of police officers turned around and left. Suddenly George stopped. He squatted down slowly. There were several clear marks on the floor, as if they had been clawed by some wild beast. The tiny cracks were not filled with dust. Full, as if newly born...

There is also a big chapter of four to five thousand words in the evening...around eleven o'clock.
