"Captain, your coffee."

"Thanks, Ben, but I'm no longer in a position."

New York Police Department, George. Stacy said to Ben, who handed her coffee.

"But you don't think so."

Ben was a skinny police officer who worked as a civilian in the office, and had always had a lot of respect for George.

"By the way, last night's case at the Natural History Museum"

George asked about last night's case.

Since Peter and Gwen were involved, he couldn't help but care.

Although Gwen went home last night and explained to him everything that happened at the museum, he was still a little unconvinced.

After all, monsters and ghosts are too bizarre.

But the ruined exhibition halls in the Natural History Museum, as well as the strange disappearances, had to make him suspicious.

"You mean Gwen? It doesn't seem to be her business at the moment. ”

Ben explained to George: "We retrieved footage from the Natural History Museum and found that the victim was indeed killed by an unknown person who broke in. ”

"The stolen artifacts, as well as the things that were destroyed in the exhibition hall, are also very likely to be caused by the thieves."

In the exhibition hall, except for the surveillance video in the room where the victim staff were located, all the surveillance in other areas was turned off.

So the police only saw the video of the staff being killed, and the rest could only be guessed.

"So—do you see the murderer's face?"

George. Stacy asked with a frown.

"No, it's just a vague shadow, which can roughly tell the height, but because of the angle and clarity, you can't see the whole picture."

Ben reluctantly said to George: "Regarding the identity of the murderer, we need further investigation. ”

"Hmm."

Ben nodded, he had heard that the victim's condition was almost identical to that of the body found in the Green Shade Cemetery.

It's all about the blood loss of the whole body.

Is it really like Gwen said, with the arrival of Halloween, monsters such as vampires have also appeared?

Thoughts that even he thought were ridiculous came to his mind.

It's better to ask Peter.

He always felt that what happened in the museum had nothing to do with Peter.

Shaking his head, he put down the coffee in his hand and walked outside.

The result was quickly stopped by a blonde woman wearing sunglasses, and a man in a black trench coat.

"George. Captain Stacey? We're going to talk to you about the homicide that happened in the Museum of Natural History. ”

The woman said to him straight to the point.

"I'm sorry, you should talk to the agent in charge of this homicide."

George's eyebrows furrowed, and he said as he looked at the woman in front of him.

"If you could tell us what you know, we'd be very grateful."

"You are"

George's skeptical gaze roamed around the other.

"We're federal agents, and that's all we can tell you at the moment."

"And you have the relevant documents?"

"I beg your pardon for showing the credentials of the federal agents, but we have a letter from the First Commissioner."

Woman to George. Stacy, show the file in your hand.

"So. Now can we talk? ”

Inside the office, George. Stacy faced the two federal agents, closed the door, and asked, "Ms. Sharon, what do you want to ask?" ”

"As far as I know, Captain Stacy, your daughter Gwen. Stacy was involved in last night's homicide"

"She's innocent."

George immediately interrupted her, "It's not incomprehensible that two museum-curious kids are looking for some thrilling theme just around Halloween. ”

"I know, but it's all out of the ordinary, isn't it?"

Sharon said to George with a calm expression: "Regardless of why the coincidence happened when the two entered, since most of the testimony was provided by the two together, we have a considerable degree of suspicion. ”

After the failure to hand over the goods at the Green Shade Cemetery, the Sharon four were treated to Nick. Fury's rebuke.

The other half of the "Talisman of Life" is said to be hidden in the Natural History Museum.

The anomaly that happened in the museum last night gave S.H.I.E.L.D. reason to believe that Dracula's undead legion began a conspiracy last night to try to find the other half of the life talisman hidden in the museum.

Now half of the Life Talisman has been snatched away by the bastard who calls himself the "Black Warden", and if the other half is snatched by Dracula, then his side will be completely in vain.

Although it was cool to let those two bastards fight for this, once they were given two life talismans by either person.

It is estimated that the whole world will not be at peace.

"They're just two high school students."

George said word by word.

"It's none of your identity, Captain Stacy."

Sharon. Carter stared at George. Stacy's eyes didn't show the slightest hint of backing down.

"Whoa!"

Outside, the sound of falling branches suddenly sounded in the window.

"Who?!"

Reacted to Sharon. Carter, immediately pulled out his pistol and pointed it outside.

As a result, a crow fluttered its wings and flew away in front of several people.

Looking at the two professional agents who pulled out their pistols, George couldn't help but complain: "You guys are really too sensitive!" ”

"I'm sorry."

Sharon. Carter put away his pistol and said calmly, "We have orders." ”

The crow flapped its wings and disappeared into the sky.

The dark pupils of the evil bird stretched inward, as dark as a black abyss.

At the very end of the abyss, Peter's pupils appeared inside.

"Bang!"

Closing the door, Peter looked up and looked in the direction of the police station.

Police Department Inside Sharon. Carter and George's conversation was all captured by his crow clone.

The crow, which is used as a spy, has always been one of the safest detection tools.

Peter held out his hand and looked at the orange ring on his left index finger.

The Life Charm is able to converse with the dead and gives the undead the ability to walk on the ground forever.

If it is obtained by Count Dracula, it will indeed immortalize his undead legion.

pity

Peter shook his head, he would never get it.

"Peter?"

Aunt Mei's voice came from downstairs.

"Come now!"

Peter put down his hand and walked out the door.

"It's Halloween tonight, so you have to get the candy ready in advance."

Aunt May brought a plate of candy and said to Peter, "Mischievous boy who doesn't give candy, I don't know how many will come tonight, Peter, you have to buy some more." ”

"Aunt Mei, you should read the newspaper in advance."

Peter looked at the candy prepared by Aunt Mei and said to her, "If you go to buy candy now, the price should have increased by 23.1% year-on-year." ”

"So much?"

Uncle Ben next to him made a surprised sound.

"Yes, candy has risen by 13.1% year-on-year since September, as for the reason? This is because the drought has affected sugar beet crops in the northern states of the United States, and the war in Europe has disrupted manufacturers' supply chains. ”

Peter explains to Aunt May the reason for the increase in candy prices.

"Uh-huh, the war of all evils."

Uncle Ben condemned the war and patted Peter on the shoulder.

"Looks like we'll leave the task of collecting the candy to you tonight, Peter."

Peter: "."

"I'm not the kid who carries a pumpkin lantern and goes door to door asking for candy, 'trick-or-treating', Uncle Ben."

"Our Peter will always be a naïve little boy."

Aunt Mei next to her said with a smile.

At this time, Aunt Mei didn't know about the trouble he and Gwen had caused in the museum.

If you know it, it is estimated that it will not be so "amiable".

Downstairs.

Peter was shopping for candy at the store when he received a call from Gwen.

"Gwen?"

"Hey, it's me, Peter, are you free right now?"

Peter glanced at the group of children gathered in front of the candy counter, nodded, and said, "It looks like it's free at the moment." ”

It's no longer possible to snatch candy from the children, so he has plenty of time now.

"Can you come and take a trip?"

Gwen asked Peter.

Hanging up the call with Peter, Gwen put her phone on the bed on her left hand side and began to stare at the "Bloodstone" in the makeup case on the table in a daze.

Dressed in a pair of long purple jeans, Gwen reached out and touched the baggy slippers under the bed.

With a high arch of the foot and a plump and well-proportioned calf, pick up the slippers and let them slide into the showy and upturned feet.

After getting out of bed, she sat down at her desk and began to Google up the Bloodstone family.

The ghost he encountered at the Natural History Museum last night claimed to be a member of the Bloodstone family.

But she searched on Google for a long time, but she didn't find the other party's information.

Since you can't find it, focus your search on the museum's collections.

Since Ulysses. Bloodstone is a ghost that appears in the museum, and has a deep connection to it.

That is, this bloodstone could have been placed in a museum exhibition hall.

Entering the official website of the Natural History Museum, Gwen browsed through the various sections.

Finally, in the Gems and Minerals Gallery, a description similar to Bloodstone was found.

The Natural History Museum is home to a wide range of gemstones, among which sapphires and large crystals are particularly eye-catching.

Inside the museum, there is a 100-carat star ruby.

Gwen managed to shift her attention from the sparkling gems to the bloodstone she was looking for.

"Massachusetts?"

Gwen was a little surprised to see the source of the Bloodstone recorded on the website.

It says that the source of this "ruby" was given by an antique store in Boston, Massachusetts.

The name of the owner of this antique shop is not identified on the website.

But Gwen still didn't give up.

While waiting for Peter to come over, she calls her best friend Betty.

"Hi Betty, it's me."

"Of course I know it's you, Gwen, who came to tell me Happy Halloween?"

Betty's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Of course it is—to say Happy Halloween to you, Happy Halloween, Betty!"

"Less, I'm working hard for our money-making plan right now."

Betty is working on a paysite for Spider-Woman, and the thought of being busy to death while Gwen is spending Halloween on the side sends a serious sense of imbalance to herself.

"Then I'll leave you candy for the night."

After promising Betty candy, Gwen got down to business, "By the way, Betty, do you know about the dark web?" ”

"Nothing on the dark web?"

Betty didn't know why Gwen brought this up to herself.

"It's the network where you can find a lot of secret information, and the information that has been deliberately hidden."

Gwen explained to Betty.

"Okay, Gwen, what you know about the Internet is limited to online pizza delivery."

Betty complained to her: "The one you are talking about should be the network of the Department of Defense, or the FBI server, and the dark web is a network used to hide illegal and criminal activities." ”

"Uh-huh, it should be about the same."

Gwen said nonchalantly, "You can help me look up something, I can't google it on the Internet." ”

Seeing the task given to her by Gwen, Betty resisted dissatisfiedly: "I'm not a hacker, Gwen!" ”

"I'm sure you can handle it!"

"Smack!"

After hanging up the phone, Gwen exhaled, and then quickly logged on to her social media account and sent the keywords to Betty.

Betty on the other side, although she said that she was not a hacker, still operated on the computer.

Soon Betty helps her find out about the legend of the Bloodstone family.

It is said that the Bloodstone family is a family that specializes in hunting monsters.

The ancestor of the Bloodstone family, once when fighting with people, a fragment of a meteorite exploded nearby, embedded in the opponent's body.

Embedded with meteorites, he has great strength and is able to use the meteorites embedded in his body to fight monsters.

The family of this person who inadvertently had a meteorite embedded in his body was continued by the family, which has since become known as the Bloodstone family.

After Betty sent the information she investigated to Gwen, she added on her social account: "But these are legends that have been handed down, and there are no monsters in this world." ”

Gwen looked at the Bloodstone on the table and said to Betty, "I've seen monsters." ”

"What monster?"

"Bigfoot."

"Hey, come less, I've seen werewolves!"

"Believe it or not."

Gwen read the message sent by the other party for a while, and then typed to Betty: "The head of the Bloodstone family, and their location, can you find out?" ”

"The patriarch of the family, first Septimus Bloodstone, then Ulysses. Bloodstone, and then I don't know, this kind of hunting news is sometimes mixed with a lot of false information, so it's hard to discern. ”

Betty continued to say on her social account: "The Bloodstone family is located in Boston, if you drive there, it will take three hours, don't tell me, Gwen, what kind of monster hunting family you want to find. ”

"Who knows? Maybe I went on a whim, maybe it would be a different experience to spend Halloween in a different city! ”

Gwen stretched and stood up.

Footsteps could be heard in the hallway outside, followed by Peter's voice outside, "Gwen, are you inside?" ”

"I'm here, wait for Peter!"

Gwen quickly took off his slippers, put on beautiful women's shoes, and ran over to open the door for Peter.
