Marvel: The Twelve Spells

Parklo Avenue, Manhattan.

Stacey's family and Rosha were having dinner, and the evening news was playing on the TV:

"At 3:47 this afternoon, a robbery occurred at the Brooklyn branch of Morgan Bank, resulting in the deaths of 17 bank employees and customers. A large amount of cash in the vault was burned. The main culprit was determined to be a demon. After causing damage, he also took away $400,000 in cash.

"After the police arrived, they exchanged fire with the demons. Five police officers were killed and seven police officers were injured...

"According to the survivors, the one who finally stopped the devil from continuing to commit crimes was actually Captain America, Steve Rogers, who had disappeared for seventy years. He held a shield and fought fiercely with the devil, and defeated the devil with his strong will. Protected the personal and property safety of citizens..."

"Captain America! It's Captain America! I've seen the video on Twitter." Gwen's brother Howard was very excited. He pointed at the beautiful female host on the TV and said: "But she is lying. In the video, Captain America was The panda was so beaten that if the police hadn't come, he would be dead!"

"An ordinary panda can't beat Captain America, that's Kung Fu Panda!" emphasized the youngest brother Angus. He is also a fan of Kung Fu Panda. There are several peripheral dolls on the bed in the room.

"No, no, no, Kung Fu Panda is no match for Captain America! One is an anime character and the other is a war hero." Howard retorted, "Kung Fu Panda was able to beat Captain America because the devil had beaten him half to death before... …”

"Kung Fu Panda is the strongest!" Angus said dissatisfiedly, "It is impossible for the devil and Captain America to defeat Kung Fu Panda!"

The brothers had an argument, and Howard had a hard time explaining to Angus that the Kung Fu Panda was just a stuffed toy and that the devil was omnipotent. Angus also couldn't understand that there was a creature in the world that was more powerful than the Kung Fu Panda...and a panda that knew Kung Fu martial arts!

"The devil is the strongest!"

"It's Kung Fu Panda!"

"demon!"

…

When they heard the news, everyone except Luo Xia stopped what they were doing. George and Gwen looked at the TV screen without speaking. Mrs. Stacey looked a little sad. She was a housewife who had nothing to do with the world. , the kind-hearted woman put down her knife and fork and prayed.

Seeing this scene, Luo Xia also put down her fork, raised her hands to her chest and muttered something.

"The God of Infinite Blessings, Amitabha, Amen, together..."

"What are you doing?" Gwen asked curiously. She could only tell that Luo Xia was speaking Chinese, but she could not understand the meaning of those syllables.

"Well... this is our eastern prayer." Luo Xia looked at her and said seriously, "I am saving those who died because of the devil."

Gwen looked at him deeply, as if she had a lot of words buried in her heart that she had not said...

After "praying", Luo Xia continued to cut the steak. Mrs. Stacey's cooking skills were very good, and she chose the best tenderloin. The meat was soft and tender.

But after such a comparison, his "prayer" became a little distracted. It was better to be serious and focused when tasting the steak.

"Luo, do you want some more vegetable salad?" Mrs. Stacey asked, she seemed to like Luo Xia's kind performance just now.

"If possible, please." Luo Xia said with a smile.

Mrs. Stacey shook her head. For a cook, eating the food she cooked is the best compliment.

George, who was sitting in the main seat, said nothing and chewed his food with a stiff expression. As the top officer of the New York City Police, he knew all the inside information of this bank robbery.

The police were once again defeated by the devil. This was the first time he had to clean up the mess caused by the devil.

If you count the fights, robberies, and destruction of public property on the streets, there have been hundreds of crimes that the devil has participated in or caused, but so far the devil is still at large.

"Dad..." Gwen hesitated.

"I'm fine." George said, putting down his knife and fork. "For my job, this setback is nothing."

Mrs. Stacey nodded and said: "People like the Devil and Spider-Woman have made a mess in New York, and the work of the police has become heavy. But I think you should relax, George. These superpowers cannot be solved by the police." of……"

"But this does not become an excuse for the police. Our mission is to protect citizens and maintain order, no matter who the enemy is." George smiled reluctantly, "Citizens will not consider this, they will only think it is right. I used my taxes to support a bunch of useless losers..."

Spider-Woman on the side stared at the plate with her head buried in embarrassment, while the devil raised his head, but he often nodded, often frowned, and often showed empathetic expressions.

The two instigators had completely opposite reactions, but both tacitly refrained from participating in the discussion at the dinner table.

"Luo Xia, what are you doing today?" Gwen turned around and asked casually, "I haven't seen you all day, and you didn't contact me."

"Sorry, I'm playing games and watching anime at home, and there's an anime series called "Spider-Woman vs. Demon" online." Luo Xia replied casually.

"Did you see the scene where the devil robs the bank? Spider-Woman should be punishing him severely, right?" Gwen cut a broccoli in half and put half of it on Rorsha's plate with a fork .

"The plot of the anime is indeed based on real cases, such as Brooklyn fighting the Lizard Man. The bank robbery plot will also be drawn later, right?" Luo Xia said uncertainly, "But Spider-Woman will not punish the devil... "

"Why?" Gwen asked curiously, "Is it because Spider-Woman was not enhanced in the comics? She can't defeat the devil?"

"Uh... because it's a love-style comic, and there won't be such an 'interesting' plot yet." Luo Xia said seriously.

Gwen was stunned, and after a moment she said with a slightly red face: "The Devil and Spider-Woman, one is a villain and the other a superhero, how can they fall in love?"

"Isn't this very common?" Luo Xia said: "In many literary works and film and television dramas, the male and female protagonists are from different camps or even hostile camps, but they come together through the power of love, and they go through various hardships and fall in love together. It was quite fun to kill each other, and I even rewarded the creator of the comic!”

"No, Spider-Woman must hate demons!" Gwen said firmly, "Even in the comics!"

…

After dinner, Gwen sent Luo Xia downstairs, and the two of them strolled along the cobblestone paths in the greenery.

"Do you still have otaku attributes? I didn't know about it until tonight." Gwen looked at Luo Xia and said, "Didn't you go out with your friends on the weekend? Billiards, board games, parties, etc..."

"No, I have no friends." Luo Xia looked at Gwen with a smile, "Only you."

"We are not friends!"

Gwen said as she hugged Luo Xia's neck, and the two kissed each other, and then separated after dozens of seconds.

The two separated, and Gwen made a gesture of calling.

"Call me when you get home."

"It should be a little late then." Luo Xia said, "I still have some things to deal with tonight."

Gwen didn't care: "I will wait, call me..."

ps: I have created a group. Interested book friends can join it to discuss the plot and let me copy it... and learn from it.
