At this moment, two startled female screams rang out simultaneously!
Connors only felt a black, white, and pink flash streak past him!
On the other side.
"Get lost!"
Jessica kicked Harry with all her might, sending him flying!
The force was so great that he tumbled several times and vomited a large mouthful of blood!
...
In just a few breaths.
Connors suddenly felt a chill behind him.
And then... there was no then.
His green body, with several blue-glowing cuts, turned into several pieces of minced meat, splattering at the feet of a pair of small black cloth boots.
Behind him was the figure of Zero, exuding a gloomy aura.
Female Knight...
Jessica.
Green blood splattered on her metal mask, leaving a few stains.
...
In his final moments, Connors had a moment of clarity.
He understood something.
It wasn't an awakening about his lizard research.
His last thought was—
There's something dirty! You're playing me!
Chapter 46: One Night! The Growth of Two Girls!
"Li!!"
Here, Ye Li was falling rapidly.
Gwen, disregarding everything, also jumped down after him.
Is this getting too serious...? Ye Li wondered if he should have used a more subtle approach?
Just as he was about to hit the ground.
Gwen finally got close enough, and Silk shot out, sticking to him.
But because of Silk's elasticity, Ye Li was still falling—
—
This scene reminded him of Spider-Man Peter saving Gwen in "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" from his previous life.
Because of the excessive elasticity of Silk, Spider-Man failed to save her.
That ordinary human version of Gwen, after being caught by Silk, still hit the ground—and died.
However, Ye Li, of course, couldn't die; he would be fine even if he fell to the ground.
And a few seconds before hitting the ground.
He felt a lightness, and then he fell into a warm embrace.
Jessica held Ye Li, and a silvery-white stream of light generated beneath her boots, holding her suspended in mid-air.
She could fly.
"Huh? I can fly?"
Jessica only then realized that in her haste, she had actually flown down.
Ye Li heard her tone, charmingly innocent, seeming to be in her usual state... if one ignored the green bloodstains on the metal mask.
"Thanks to you, Jessica!"
Gwen also landed at this moment, saying with lingering fear, "Otherwise, I might not have been able to save Li!"
Ye Li felt that this sudden impulsive decision to put on a show seemed a bit rash.
He subconsciously said, "Sorry..."
"Sorry for what?"
The two girls asked strangely at the same time.
Ye Li was speechless.
After thinking for a moment.
He went with the flow and said, "What I told you before, [With great power comes great responsibility], I actually haven't finished it; it has a second half."
Jessica asked curiously, "There's a second half?"
"Ahem..."
Ye Li cleared his throat and said solemnly.
"With great power comes great responsibility, and also great authority!
I think, Gwen, Jessica, you have the authority to judge your enemies!"
"Judge...?"
Gwen and Jessica thought of what had just happened and understood.
This night.
The two girls grew once more.
...
Back on the rooftop.
On the way, Jessica caught Harry, who was trying to escape.
Together with Gwen, they gave him a good beating before dragging him back.
"What about this guy?"
Jessica threw the beaten-up Harry, whose face was swollen like a pig's head, onto the ground, "I didn't expect Harry to follow in his father's footsteps; it's so disappointing."
Harry's mask had been knocked off.
She handed the lightsaber back to Gwen, "Gwen, do you want to judge him?"
"Ah?"
Gwen's hand trembled, but under the influence of the recent fall, she inexplicably took it.
Eliminate evil completely.
If the enemy isn't thoroughly dealt with, what if they don't play fair and harm friends and family?
But the target was a former classmate, and Gwen, who had never killed anyone, really couldn't bring herself to do it...
At this moment, a hand grasped her wrist.
Ye Li turned off the lightsaber and took it back, comforting Gwen, "Don't force yourself; do what you want, follow your heart."
"Li~..." Gwen was so moved that she was a mess; Li was still the gentlest.
Jessica pouted, "That's not fair; I accidentally killed Dr. Connors."
Ye Li glanced at the green minced meat still piled on the rooftop—Are you sure it was an accident...? It's already in several pieces...
"Just think of it as..."
Ye Li also comforted Jessica, "...killing a big lizard."
"How can that be the same?"
Jessica rolled her eyes at him, "But it's good that Big Brother is okay..."
"Then what about Harry... Green Goblin?"
Gwen looked at Harry; his mouth was already too swollen to speak, and he could only whimper for mercy.
