It was already night, and the neighboring community was less than 500 meters away from Xi Nian's home.
In a room.
After dinner, a shower, and a change into her long pajamas, Gwen lay sprawled on her bed. Her head burrowed like an ostrich among her stuffed toys, her youthful body motionless. However, her feet, rhythmically tapping against the duvet, betrayed her hidden worries.
"Gwen."
Officer George, still in his uniform, came outside, gently knocked on the closed door, and asked through the door, "Would you like a cup of hot cocoa?"
"No, you'll get fat."
Inside the room, Gwen was still lying motionless on the bed, her voice sounding a little weak.
Officer George said with some doubt, "Who said when they were little that they wanted to live in a castle made of chocolate and cake and be a princess?"
"Dad, don't always mention my past!" Gwen was a little embarrassed and shouted, "Especially when..." She stopped talking halfway.
Officer George sighed and continued, "Especially in your school. And, when that kid was there, right?"
"No. He already knew it anyway." Although Gwen said this, her tone became lower and lower, and the puppets pressing on her head began to tremble slightly.
"Gwen." Officer George took a deep breath, as if he had made the most important decision in his life at this moment. He said firmly in a deep voice, "If you really like that kid Xi Nian, then go and express your feelings! I, your father, will definitely support you behind the scenes!"
Inside the room.
The doll that was pressing on the girl's head stopped shaking. After three seconds of silence, all the dolls were blown away from the bed.
"Dad, what are you talking about?!"
Gwen leaped straight out of bed, sitting on the quilt like a duck, her hands squeezing the pillow out of shape. Her face, whether from being buried for too long or from being poked in the heart, was flushed with a sharp rise in temperature, leaving no doubt that steam would burst out in the next second.
Beads of sweat appeared, and a few strands of golden hair stained the girl's cheeks.
"I don't... like Xinian!" Gwen was so ashamed and angry that she instinctively wanted to retort as a girl. However, because she paused in the middle, her rebuttal was as pale and powerless as a piece of white paper.
"Okay, okay, I was just saying if, if."
Officer George, who had been standing outside the door, understood what he meant. He was about to say something when the pager on his sleeve suddenly beeped.
Officer George answered immediately: "This is Sergeant George, what happened?"
Knowing that an emergency had occurred, Gwen in the room quickly quieted down.
"Hmm?" Officer George's already serious expression grew even more solemn as he listened to the report from his subordinates on the pager. "Are you saying that a woman in bizarre clothes suddenly appeared out of nowhere and robbed the armored car?"
"I see. It's not far from where I am. I'll be there soon!"
Officer George put down his pager and hurriedly called to the door, "Gwen, I have to go out for something. Please stay home."
"Okay. Dad, be safe," Gwen responded.
"I will." Officer George nodded and hurried away from home.
In the room.
The heat on Gwen's face cooled slightly. Thinking about what her father had just said, she couldn't help but murmur, "A woman who fell from the sky?"
"Could it be a mutant or a person with super powers?"
Gwen frowned slightly, becoming more and more worried about her father's safety.
In this world, people with talents beyond ordinary humans are very rare, but we cannot say that they do not exist!
Because she is one of them!
Gwen quickly came to the wardrobe in her room, pushed all the clothes to the sides, and opened a compartment at the back of the wardrobe, revealing what she had hidden behind it.
It was a strange, tight-fitting uniform in black and white.
The uniform is white from the neck to the chest, and the opposite color is black from the chest down to the abdomen, buttocks, and legs. In addition to the white hood that covers the head, the uniform also comes with an additional one-piece hood with a black and red pattern like a spider web inside.
In addition to the strange female spider uniform and hood, there is also a pair of green low-top special shoes placed inside the interlayer.
Without giving it much thought, Gwen removed her hood, uniform, and shoes. She also pulled three ordinary band-aids from the lowest drawer of her wardrobe and gently bit them open. Soon, her pajamas, bra, and lace-up clothing were scattered across the floor, and Gwen was wearing the complete Spider-Woman uniform.
Put on the Spider-Woman costume.
Gwen placed her palms lightly on the floor and crouched down as if in hunting mode, walking like a crawling spider without making any sound.
Tuning the radio on her desk to a pure music channel, Gwen created the illusion of concentrating on her homework and opened the window of her room. Glancing back at the closed door, she grasped the window sill with a slight push and nimbly slid out.
You know, although Gwen's house is not as high as Xinian's, it is also a tenth-floor house, nearly thirty meters above the ground!
Gwen's perspective was reversed, and the city below, shrouded in darkness, was reflected in reverse.
She leaped ten meters into the air, and at the moment she was about to fall, she flipped her wrist and an inconspicuous white spider silk shot out, accurately hitting the eaves of the tall building next door.
Gwen reached under her body to pull the resilient spider silk, and her petite body adjusted the angle again before being thrown out, following the police car with its sirens blaring downstairs to the opposite street.
…
At this time, at the intersection of the opposite street.
Vehicles parked on the roadside collectively sounded automatic alarms, and many passers-by screamed "someone is robbing" and fled. A money transport truck was parked in front of the Central Bank.
However, at this time, the roof of the armored car, which was claimed to be bulletproof, had been smashed into a huge dent. A woman wearing strange armor and holding a retro sword was lying on the scrapped armored car. Many green US dollars were thrown out of the broken cabin. It is conceivable how great the impact of the fall was.
That's right, this so-called 'strange woman' is our classmate Xinian.
It's no wonder that others misjudged his gender. The skirt and armor Xinian wore was obviously women's, especially his long silver hair draped over his shoulders, which almost confirmed his apparent gender.
"My God!"
"Who are you?"
Two fully armed special police officers were standing near the armored car. They were stunned for a few seconds, but with their strong psychological qualities, they pulled out their guns and shouted.
However, judging from their trembling feet, they were obviously very scared.
"If I said I accidentally fell here from my home on the 16th floor, would you believe me?"
Although Xinian really wanted to answer like this, if he opened his mouth, it would definitely expose the fact that he was a pervert, ahem, a boy.
The main thing is that no explanation would make sense now. After all, if a normal person fell from the 16th floor, it would be outrageous for them to be safe and sound, let alone intact!
So, I lay in the armored car and thought for less than half a second.
Xi Nian ignored the special police who were pointing guns at him, and instead flipped over at an extremely fast speed, jumped off the roof of the car, and fled the scene along the road!
His speed was so fast that his movements left afterimages. By the time the SWAT police reacted, he had already run ten meters away!
