Chapter 122: Alice. The Adventures of Stacey
"Didn't you tell me in advance, aren't you afraid that I and you will miss it?"
Peter said to Gwen, who was dressed as a witch.
Gwen's little surprise really caught him in the eye, and if he flew over instead of driving, he would probably miss her.
"Don't you know? Peter, I have telepathy, I can sense a lot of things, like I now know that you will come. ”
Gwen waved her wand and said to Peter with a slight smugness.
Peter reached out and stroked her blonde hair.
"The way you're dressed now, be careful to be dragged to trial like a witch."
"It's not the seventeenth century, how can there be a judgment seat, the Holy See doesn't care about anything."
Gwen said she didn't believe in witch trials, "and there are real witches out there." ”
"Haven't you seen a monster? Gwen. ”
Peter looked at the various Halloween "monsters" coming and going on the streets, and said to Gwen: "Since there are monsters in this world, it should be normal for witches or something, right?" ”
"Forehead ......"
When Peter said this, Gwen was also a little weak-hearted.
The bad experience of Bigfoot and the mummy that she had encountered before came back into her mind, making her whole person feel bad.
"I ...... Let's go in first. ”
Without waiting for Peter's reaction, he took his hand and walked towards the café.
The café is filled with Halloween atmosphere, and the walls are decorated with various skeletons and ghost props.
Jack-o-lanterns are placed in the corner of the café, emitting a faint green glow.
Guests were also dressed as ghosts and ghosts, and enjoyed coffee in a special capacity.
If it weren't for Halloween, Gwen would have wondered if she had even gone into some wild bar.
"Latte, thank you."
Gwen ordered a latte from the waiter.
Peter, like Gwen, ordered a latte.
As soon as she sat down, she couldn't wait to ask Peter, "How is it, have the fragments of the bloodstone been returned to Elsa? Bloodstone, what kind of person is she? ”
"Well, give it back to her, as for what kind of woman she is, she should be a strong woman, at least she can fight, no worse than those demon hunters."
"Witcher?"
Gwen heard Peter speak of the witcher, and a large question mark appeared above her head.
"What witcher?"
"Monster hunters for a living, like the Ulysses you met. Bloodstone is the same. ”
Peter took the coffee from the waiter and said in an unhurried tone, "In the evening, a number of witchers gathered in Mr. Bloodstone's manor for a hunt for bloodstone. ”
"Hunting?"
Gwen was skeptical of Peter's words, "That'...... Who was the witcher who won in the end? ”
"Elsa. Bloodstone. ”
Peter took a gentle sip of his coffee and continued: "She is the final victor. ”
"Then tell me what's going on in the manor."
Gwen's curiosity was immediately sparked.
"Then you'll have to tell me, you and Jessica. What happened to Jones? ”
Peter naturally didn't simply tell Gwen what happened, but asked Gwen about her experience first.
"I ......"
Gwen was slightly choked and squirmed for a moment before telling Peter.
"I was going to try to persuade Jessica to go to the hospital, and then I met her sister."
When it comes to Jessica's sister, Gwen's tone is not very good, "And then her sister had an argument with her. ”
"So you're getting involved?"
Peter asked her.
"Nope. Later, her sister slapped her, and when she wanted to do it again, I stopped her. ”
Gwen said depressedly, "I just pushed her and she hit the counter next to her." Although I didn't mean to, I had to take her to the hospital. ”
"Okay, Gwen."
Peter said he understood Gwen's words, "I wouldn't be surprised if you did beat her. ”
"I'm not one of those violent girls."
Gwen said to Peter, dissatisfied, "I am a pacifist lady. ”
"Hmm."
Peter nodded, noncommittal to Gwen's words.
Spider Woman, who fights criminals on the streets every day, says she is a pacifist, and he says he just listens.
"Alright, I'm done with my experience, Peter, tell me about the Halloween you experienced at Bloodstone Manor."
Gwen asked, looking forward to clasping her hands together and supporting her chin.
"Well, that's a long story."
Peter organized the language, "From the moment I first entered the manor. ”
Peter began to recount his experiences at the Blood Manor on Halloween night.
However, he did not tell Gwen all about it, but made up a fictional identity of a werewolf for himself.
From the moment he entered the manor as a werewolf, pretending to be a witcher and communicating with other peers.
But his identity was discovered by Mrs. Verusa, who locked herself in a huge birdcage and Elsa . Bloodstones are locked together.
Verusa tried to use Bloodstone to make herself appear as a werewolf, hoping that after she became a werewolf who had lost her mind, she would be able to tear Elsa apart.
"And then?"
Even though she knew Peter was talking nonsense, Gwen listened with relish, and when Peter stopped, she couldn't wait to ask.
"The next is an R-rated bloody film, which is not suitable for minors. In short, you know that after the werewolf transforms, he kills directly in the castle. ”
Peter put down his coffee cup and said to her.
"Well, I didn't even notice an interesting story, Peter, you have a talent for making up stories."
Gwen had a little surprise on her face, "Maybe you can stop being a programmer in the future and become a great suspense bestseller, like a writer like Stephen King." ”
"Thanks, but I'm not the kind of person who can sit down and lean over the table to write."
Peter's story is over, and the coffee in the cup is at the bottom.
"But one thing you're wrong, Peter, you won't be a werewolf."
Gwen smiled slightly, "Because you won't transform on a full moon night." ”
"Maybe I'll transform and go out on the streets every night, Gwen."
Peter began to tease Gwen again.
"Hmm......?"
Gwen looked at Peter with some humility, "That's not like you. ”
"Ahem, I mean, Peter, you're not like those superheroes, those superheroes who are willing to help."
Although Gwen had previously known Peter to be helpful, Peter seems to have changed recently.
Just after he was bitten by a spider, Peter's personality also changed somewhat.
is no longer as submissive and bullied as before, but has a complete reversal from before, and his personality has become a little indifferent.
She didn't know if it was good or bad, but to herself, she liked Peter like this.
Willing to accompany herself, listen to her troubles, and appear when she needs it most, although she occasionally makes herself distressed, but she still likes it very much.
She was lost in thought when there was a commotion outside.
Gwen turned her eyes and saw a crowd of marchers in the street.
People dressed up as various ghosts, monsters, and witches gather on the streets to participate in Halloween's final revelry, the Halloween Parade.
"Let's go too."
Seeing the lively scene outside, Gwen couldn't hold back the crazy urge in her heart, took Peter's hand, and walked quickly outside.
Peter did not refuse, and joined the procession.
"You should change your outfit, Peter."
Looking at Peter's ordinary outfit, Gwen shouted at him.
With so much crowd and too loud noise, Gwen turned up the volume.
Seeing that her "boyfriend" didn't have any Halloween outfits, she thought about it, untied the witch's black robe from her body, and tied it to Peter.
"That's it, handsome dark wizard."
After looking at Peter's outfit, Gwen clapped her hands in satisfaction.
"Very well, let's go."
Holding Peter's hand, the two joined the procession.
Along the way, Gwen's heart was constantly jumping.
Spending Christmas for the first time in a small town far from home, Gwen's heart is full of novelty.
Most importantly, spend this meaningful Halloween with Peter.
Although Peter's interest in Halloween is average, he is driven by Gwen's emotions, and he temporarily puts aside the troubles in his heart and enjoys it with Gwen.
"What's that? Look, Peter! ”
After a few minutes of following the Halloween crowd, Gwen suddenly noticed a rabbit on the street.
The rabbit with a hat on his head is now on the side of the road, looking out at the crowd with a human expression on his face.
Seeing the strange expression of the pet rabbit not far away, Gwen grabbed Peter's arm and walked towards the rabbit.
Peter didn't want to pay attention to the rabbit pet, but was forced to pull him over by Gwen.
The rabbit, wearing the black-tipped witch's hat, saw someone approaching, immediately pricked up his ears and ran backwards.
Gwen wanted to get close to the rabbit to see what the hell it was, but she didn't expect the rabbit to run away.
Driven by curiosity, she chased two steps forward like Alice chasing a rabbit, and was soon blocked by a figure.
The woman, dressed in a witch's outfit similar to Gwen's, bends down and picks up the rabbit.
"Mr. Scratchey, if you run around like this again, you will be made into a braised rabbit."
The woman with curly black hair and a somewhat playful voice whispered to the rabbit.
"Forehead ......"
Gwen looked over to Peter, quietly tugged at his sleeve, and moved closer to him.
She always felt that the woman in front of her was a little scary.
It looks like the other party is like a real kind of witch, exuding a dark aura of yin owl.
"Our Mr. Sclatch also brought guests."
Without waiting for Gwen to speak, a smile appeared on the corner of the woman's mouth, and she stretched out her hand to Gwen, "Hello, the guests brought by the Skrage, I'm Agatha. Harkness. ”
Faced with the other party's enthusiasm, Gwen was a little at a loss, "I'm Gwen. Stacy, your ...... The rabbits are cute. ”
"Also, your Halloween witch costume...... Very distinctive. ”
Gwen clumsily proceeded with unfamiliar diplomatic rhetoric.
"Really? Thank you for the compliment, Miss Stacy, witches are everywhere in Salem, and it's not easy to get compliments. ”
Agatha held the rabbit in her arms, her eyes rolling around Peter next to her.
"I have prepared a carriage for the parade, a carriage parade with a special taste, two foreign wizards, are you interested in getting on the carriage together?"
Agatha invited the two.
Gwen was about to refuse, but the other party turned around and pointed to a carriage behind him, and said, "It's this carriage, an indispensable tool for Halloween parades." ”
Gwen looked at the carriage that suddenly appeared, and her face was full of incredulity.
She didn't even notice that there was a carriage nearby.
Wasn't there nothing just now?
Gwen looked at Peter suspiciously, only to shrug his shoulders at her, indicating that he didn't know either.
He really didn't notice the carriage appearing.
His expression became a little more serious, and Peter turned his gaze to the woman.
He began to wonder if the other party was a real witch.
In a town like Salem, he wouldn't be surprised even if a real witch appeared.
After all, this is the Marvel world that can never be judged by common sense.
"Every time Halloween is the festival I look forward to the most, because everything is incredible, there are plenty of excuses, and you can even explain it in one sentence, that is: after all, today is Halloween!"
The woman smiled at Peter, walked to the carriage, took the reins, and patted the horse's buttocks.
The originally quiet dark horse, after being slapped on the buttocks, immediately came alive.
Gracefully getting into the carriage, Agatha stretched out her hand to Gwen, who was still hesitating, "Don't you come up and experience it?" Parade through the streets on Halloween in a horse-drawn carriage without worrying about being arrested by the jury. ”
Looking at the other party's slightly pompous style, Gwen looked at Peter with some hesitation.
Her thoughts now are the same as Peter's, feeling that the woman in front of her is becoming more and more like a real witch.
"If you don't want to go up, we can walk away, Gwen."
Seeing Gwen's hesitation, Peter spoke to her.
"Well, it's a crazy day for Halloween anyway, so why not try to go crazy once?"
Gwen exhaled, took Peter's hand, and got into the carriage.
"Good, I have two more travelers for my Halloween adventure with Mr. Strache."
Holding the rabbit, Agatha said happily.
Without the need for human manpower, the horses pulled the cart and began to walk slowly down the street.
Agatha took the initiative to invite the two into the carriage.
The interior of the carriage is covered with a fine carpet that smells of incense.
Gwen, who was amazed by the novelty, looked at everything around her in surprise and asked, "Lady Agatha, is this the carriage you prepared for Halloween?" ”
"Suffice it to say, I've always longed for the old way of traveling, so I specially prepared a carriage, but. It is only at this time that it can be opened openly. ”
