"What's wrong?"

Seeing Peter stop, Gwen asked him suspiciously.

"Nothing."

Peter shook his head, indicating nothing.

The museum in front of him always gave him a faint sense of unease, as if something existed in the dark, peeking at everyone who entered this museum.

There were very few people entering the museum at night, and by the time the two entered, it was already closing time.

However, after Peter showed the staff the VIP platinum card that Uncle Ben gave him, he stuffed some "Franklin" into the other party by the way, and it was easy for the other party to open the back door for himself.

"So. Now the museum is only open to the two of us, and it is a wonderful night of the museum for the two of us. ”

After Gwen entered the museum, she looked at the Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton displayed at the entrance of the hall and said excitedly to Peter.

"It should be."

Looking at the empty halls around him, Peter nodded.

The two walked under the Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton together and looked up at the huge fossils of ancient creatures.

Looking up, above the Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton is a transparent glass skylight.

The bright moonlight poured down through the glass, casting a veil over the entire hall.

After admiring the moonlight above the Tyrannosaurus Rex for a while, Gwen pulled her phone out of her bag and began to tinker with it.

"What's wrong?"

"Museum Navigation System."

Gwen said as she showed Peter the screen of her phone.

"The navigation system software can be downloaded to a mobile phone and not only helps visitors clearly determine where they are, but also navigates all 45 exhibition halls, theaters, restrooms and restaurants in the museum, allowing them to move around the museum with ease."

Gwen said to Peter.

She didn't feel eerie or scary about visiting the museum at night, but she was in high spirits.

Following the navigational instructions, Gwen led Peter to the nearest pavilion of human ecology and evolution.

In the silent corridor, only the footsteps of two people echoed in it.

"Don't you feel scared? Gwen. ”

Peter asked Gwen.

"Scared? No, it doesn't feel that way. ”

Gwen shook her head and smiled at Peter, "On the contrary, I think it's all Halloween in the mood, and if I can, I'd even like to walk here with a mask." ”

Gwen's fetish has always been different, exciting and challenging, and she is most passionate about it.

If she comes to visit during the day, I'm afraid she will be disgusted with the lack of atmosphere.

"Well, if you really don't feel eerie."

Peter nodded, took Gwen's hand, and walked into the Human Ecology and Evolution Pavilion.

With a small smile on her lips, Gwen clasped Peter's fingers tightly.

The warm touch made her experience a different heartbeat.

As soon as they entered the exhibition hall, the dark mural appeared in front of the two of them.

Next to the mural, there is a model of ancient humans, which vividly shows the evolution of human beings.

Peter stood on the stone wall, stared at the mural in front of him, and said to Gwen: "This is supposed to be the mural of ancient Egypt, and the ancient Egyptians carved it in a 'linear' way, that is, they carved the image of a person or animal on the stone, and these images were all flat shapes. ”

"The 'talisman of life' you mentioned earlier is a sacred relic of the ancient Egyptians, right?"

Gwen was impressed by Peter's level of performance, and she suddenly remembered the "talisman of life" that Peter had mentioned earlier.

"Uh-huh."

Peter nodded, and looked ahead at the mural.

He then pointed to a mural of a dog-headed priest for the pharaoh and said: "After ancient Egypt entered the slave society, the pharaoh began to think of himself as the incarnation of the sun god, and began to mummify his body after death. ”

"This is Anubis, and the one sitting should be Hathol, the god of love, and the sacrifice is in his hand."

Peter's eyes narrowed, "It's supposed to be the Talisman of Life, but it's only half." ”

Gwen looked closer and exhaled, "Well, then I understand why the Pharaoh didn't come back to life. ”

After complaining, Gwen looked at the other relief murals with great interest.

Soon she found a very interesting picture, "Peter, look, here's a strange man in a cloak, he doesn't seem to be Pharaoh, why does he seem to be receiving sacrifices?" ”

Peter walked over, looked at the bald image on the mural, and looked at the four horsemen representing "death", "plague", "famine", and "war" next to him, and guessed that this should be the well-known villain of Marvel - Apocalypse.

"Maybe it's an alien from that era."

Peter said casually to Gwen.

"It's possible."

Gwen thought about it seriously, "After all, legend has it that the pyramids were built by aliens. ”

After exiting the Human Ecology and Evolution Pavilion, the two walked to Roosevelt Room.

Peter had little interest in the conservation of President Roosevelt's natural preservation, and mainly wanted to see the exhibition hall that Uncle Ben had helped to renovate.

Upon entering the exhibition hall, a full-length portrait of President Roosevelt came into view.

In the center of the exhibition hall is a statue of Captain America.

The propaganda board next to it clearly lists the anti-fascist contributions made by Captain America in World War II.

"Let me see."

Gwen turned on her phone, lowered her head and said, "Roosevelt Hall, it seems that there is a temporary exhibition on the theme of Captain America." ”

Gwen sighed slightly, "I'm not a fan of Captain America. ”

Her idol is a band drummer, not some kind of superhero.

"I know him."

Spotting someone she knew, Gwen walked quickly over to the mustachioed figure and said to Peter, "This is Howard. Stark! That playboy Tony. Stark's father, and this."

Gwen pointed to a flaming red-lipped beauty with a slight smug and said, "This is Captain America's girlfriend - Peggy. Carter. ”

"It's a pity. They didn't end up together. ”

Gwen said in a low voice.

Despite saying that she is not a fan of Captain America, Gwen still knows a lot about Captain America's story.

Somehow, she suddenly thought of her love for Peter.

The same side is an ordinary person, and the other side is an abnormal human being.

I hope that my love with Peter will not be like that of Captain America and Peggy. Carter is the same.

Gwen thought silently to herself.

"Let's go see the Indians and the Huns! And mammoths! ”

Gwen quickly stopped thinking in her mind and took Peter's hand and walked to the other room.

Peter has nothing to do, anyway, there is no need to rush to find the "Life Talisman", and it doesn't matter if he accompanies Gwen around the exhibition hall first.

"Where's the nearby restroom?"

Peter suddenly asked Gwen, who had a navigation app.

"Let me see."

Gwen pulled out her phone and quickly found the location of the nearest restroom.

Separated from Gwen and entering the bathroom, black blood welled up on Peter's arm.

Along with the black and red blood, there were small black spiders.

Several small spiders were born from his arms, then jumped down and scattered.

He now has half of the "Life Talisman" in his hand, and according to the special aura emanating from it, the spider who has his consciousness and mind can potentially find the other half of the "Life Talisman".

After unleashing the spider that detected the "Life Talisman", Peter looked at himself in the mirror.

In the mirror rendered by the night, his slightly green face is reflected.

Looks. With Gwen, I seem to have regained the feeling of "past life" on the college campus.

"Peter!"

Gwen's panicked voice suddenly rang out outside.

Peter hurried out of the bathroom.

"What's wrong?"

Looking at Gwen, who was standing in the hallway waiting for her, a little at a loss, Peter asked her.

"I didn't know that just now the navigation showed that all the pavilions were starting to close. Tourists are also reminded to evacuate immediately. ”

Gwen showed the phone to Peter suspiciously, "And the phone has been working normally just now, and now there is suddenly no signal." ”

Seeing that Gwen's cell phone had no signal, Peter pulled out his own phone.

The signal is also shown as none.

"Let's go find the staff just now."

Peter took Gwen's hand and walked towards the area where the staff were.

A few minutes later, the two came to the room where the staff were.

Facing the hidden door, the two looked at each other.

Peter stood in front of Gwen and pushed the door open.

There was a "creak" and the door was pushed open.

The scene in the room caught the eyes of the two of them.

The staff on duty lay motionless in front of the monitor.

Peter walked up to the staff and glanced at his pale face, then shook his head at a worried Gwen.

"He's dead."

"Dead?"

Gwen froze in place, unable to accept that the person who was still talking to him just now suddenly died mysteriously.

"We need to get out of here."

Peter, who realizes that the museum may be targeted by others, wants to get Gwen out safely.

Whether it's for the safety of the other side or for the possibility of conflict ahead, Gwen is not suitable to stay here.

"Okay, okay."

Although she was a little disappointed, considering that someone had died, Gwen still planned to go out and call the police quickly.

The two had just walked out of the room when they suddenly heard a strange sound from a distance.

A heart-palpitating wail, like the roar of a wild beast.

After a slight hesitation, Peter took Gwen's hand and returned to the room.

Locking the door with his backhand, Peter walked over to the staff who had lost their breath to see if they had the key on them.

"Unfortunately, the keys to the areas and the gates are not on his body."

Peter shook his head and said.

Gwen also felt that things were getting more and more weird, and walked over and hugged the other party's arm with some uneasiness.

After comforting Gwen, Peter set to work in front of the console.

"It looks like all the access is closed."

Peter said to Gwen as he operated the monitor.

Cutting through the surveillance footage of the various areas, he quickly spotted the anomaly.

In the screen of the monitor, a blurry shadow flashed.

Gwen also saw a strange shadow, and combined with the howl of the beast she had heard earlier, she asked Peter worriedly, "What is this?" Peter. ”

It can't be Halloween, the museum is really haunted, right?

Although she is very good at fighting those criminals, she has little to do with demons and monsters.

Not only is he helpless, but he is also very worried about ghosts and similar things.

"I don't know."

Peter shook his head.

Although he said that he didn't know, he could catch a blurred shadow for a moment.

The image that flashed by just now was the shadow vampire I had seen in the green graveyard yesterday.

"Wait here, Gwen, I'll go out and have a look."

"I'm with you."

Naturally, Gwen wasn't going to let Peter take any chances.

If something happened to Peter, she was not allowed to cry to death.

"It's okay, I'll see if I can find the key, and then we get out of here as soon as possible."

Peter whispered to Gwen.

"But."

Gwen looked very entangled.

She wanted to say that she could protect the other party, but when she saw Peter's serious expression, she swallowed the words again.

"I promise you, there will be no accidents, and I will come over soon."

Peter cupped Gwen's little face and whispered to her.

"Okay."

Touched by a warm hand on her face, Gwen felt her heart beat a little faster.

The emotions of being pampered and protected immediately spread throughout the body.

She wanted to tell Peter that she was willing to protect him.

Hesitating, Gwen reached out and grabbed Peter's waist and leaned over gently.

I was behind Peter's back to protect him from the fact that he wouldn't find out.

Gwen secretly made a decision.

"You promise me not to be reckless, and to come back as soon as you find something wrong, Peter."

"I will."

He removed the walkie-talkie from the staff, then he took another walkie-talkie from the cabinet and handed it to Gwen.

It was agreed that the two would use the walkie-talkie to communicate.

With everything all set out and the two separated, Peter stepped out of the surveillance room and quickly walked towards the area where the shadow vampire was found.

Of course, before leaving, he placed a small spider in the hallway outside the room to prevent danger on Gwen's side.

Gwen waited until Peter left, and then poked her head out, trying to keep up with Peter.

But soon she found herself with the other party.

"Well, that guy ran so fast."

Gwen muttered discontentedly.

"Peter?"

Worried about Peter's safety, Gwen uses the walkie-talkie to talk to Peter.

"I'm fine, Gwen, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just wanted to ask, where are you now?"

"I'm in the Mead Pacific Room on the third floor."

Peter stood in front of the fourth-floor exhibition hall, staring at the darkness inside, and said casually to Gwen.

Even if you lie, you don't look like your face is red and your heart is not beating.

"Okay, then you have to be careful, remember to contact at any time."

"I will."

Turning off the radio intercom, Peter's expression was unusually serious.

In front of this avian dinosaur exhibition hall, where the shadow vampire appeared, he felt the breath of the "talisman of life".

After a moment of contemplation, his arm alienated into a black wriggling substance, passed through the crack in the door of the exhibition hall, and entered the interior.

"Click!"

The electronic password control device in the exhibition hall was easily destroyed by him.

The door of the exhibition hall also slowly opened in front of him.
