056 Dinner
Manhattan, Parklow Avenue.
The Stacy family and Rorschach are having dinner while the evening news is playing on the TV:
"At 3:47 p.m. today, a robbery occurred at the Brooklyn branch of the Morgan Bank, killing 17 bank employees and customers, burning a large amount of cash in the vault, the main culprit was identified as a demon, and after causing the damage, he also took $400,000 in cash.
"When the police arrived, there was an exchange of fire with the demons, and five officers were killed in the line of duty and seven were injured......
"According to the survivors, the last person to stop the demon from continuing to commit crimes was actually Captain America who disappeared for 70 years - Steve Rogers, who fought fiercely with the demon with a shield, and fought the demon with a strong will, protecting the safety of the citizens and property......"
"Captain America! It's Captain America! I've seen the video on Twitter. Gwen's younger brother Howard was so excited that he pointed to the beautiful hostess on TV and said, "But she's lying, in the video Captain America is beaten up by a fat panda, if the police don't come he will be finished!" ”
"An ordinary panda can't beat Captain America, that's a kung fu panda!" The youngest brother, Angus, stresses that he is also a fan of Kung Fu Panda, and there are several peripheral dolls on the bed in the room.
"No, no, Kung Fu Panda isn't Captain America's opponent either! One is an anime character and the other is a war hero. Howard retorted, "Kung Fu Panda was able to beat Captain America fat because the demon had beaten him half to death before......"
"Kung Fu Panda is the strongest!" Angus said dissatisfiedly, "The devil plus Captain America can't beat Kung Fu Panda!" ”
The brothers get into an argument, and Howard has a hard time explaining to Angus that Kung Fu Panda is a stuffed animal and that demons are omnipotent. Angus also couldn't understand that there were creatures in the world that were more powerful than Kung Fu Panda...... It can also be a panda who knows kung fu and martial arts!
"The devil is the strongest!"
"It's Kung Fu Panda!"
"Demons!"
……
When they heard the news, everyone except Rorschach stopped what they were doing, George and Gwen looked at the TV screen and did not speak, and Mrs. Stacy's face was a little sad, she was a housewife who had no quarrel with the world, and she was kind and put down her knife and fork and prayed.
When Lochael saw this, she also put down her fork and put her hand on her chest to recite the words.
"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, Amitabha, Amen, a total ......"
"What are you doing?" Gwen asked curiously, she could only tell that Loxia spoke Chinese, but she couldn't understand what the syllables meant.
"Hmm...... This is our Eastern prayer. Loxia looked at her and said seriously, "I'm overtaking those who died because of demons. ”
Gwen gave him a deep look, as if she had a lot of words buried in her heart that she hadn't spoken......
After Lochachael's "prayer", she continued to cut the steak, Mrs. Stacy's cooking skills were very good, and the selection of the best tenderloin was also the best meat, which was soft and tender.
But after such a comparison, his "prayer" is a little distracted, and it is better to be serious and attentive when tasting the steak.
"Luo, do you want some vegetable salad?" Mrs. Stacy asked, she seemed to like the kindness that Lothar had just shown.
"If you can, it's troublesome." Loxia said with a smile.
Mrs. Stacey shook her head, for a person who cooks, eating the food she cooks, is the best compliment.
George, who sat in the main seat, didn't say a word, chewing his food with a stiff expression, and as the top officer of the New York City police, he knew all the inside story of this bank robbery.
Once again, the police were defeated by the demons, and he no longer knew how many times he had cleaned up the mess after the demons' destruction.
If you count the cases of fighting, robbery, and destruction of public property in the streets, there are hundreds of crimes in which the demons have participated or committed, but the demons are still at large.
"Daddy......" Gwen said again.
"I'm fine." George put down his knife and fork and said, "It's not a big setback for my job. ”
Mrs. Stacey nodded and said, "Demons, Spider-Woman, these people have made a mess of New York, and the work of the police has become heavy, but I think you should relax, George, these superpowers are not for the police to solve......"
"But this is not an excuse for the police, our mission is to protect the citizens and maintain order, no matter who the enemy is." George smiled reluctantly, "The citizens won't think about this, they will only think that they are right, and they have used their taxes to feed a bunch of useless rice buckets......"
Spider-Woman on the side stared at the plate with her head buried in embarrassment, while the demon tilted her head, but he often nodded, frowned, and often showed an empathetic expression.
The two initiators reacted in complete contradiction, but both tacitly did not participate in the discussion at the dinner table.
"Lotsha, what are you doing today?" Gwen turned her head and asked casually, "I haven't seen you all day, and you haven't contacted me." ”
"I'm sorry, I'm playing games at home, watching anime, and there's an anime called Spider-Woman vs. Demons serialized on the Internet." Loxia replied casually.
"Did you see the devil robbing the bank? Spider-Woman should be punishing him severely, right? Gwen cut a broccoli in half and forked half of it on Roschael's plate.
"The plot of the anime is indeed taken from a real case, such as Brooklyn vs. the Lizardmen, and the plot of the bank robbery will be drawn later, right?" Loxia said uncertainly, "But Spider-Woman doesn't punish demons......"
"Why?" Gwen asked curiously, "Because Spider-Woman wasn't enhanced in the comics?" She can't beat the devil? ”
"Uh...... Because it's a romance-style comic, there won't be such a 'fun' plot now. Lochael said seriously.
Gwen was stunned, and after a moment she said with a slightly red face: "The demon and Spider-Woman, one is a villain and the other is a superhero, how can they fall in love?" ”
"Isn't that common?" Luo Xia said: "In many literary works and film and television dramas, the male and female protagonists are from different camps or even hostile camps, but in the power of love, walking together, going through all kinds of tribulations together, falling in love and killing each other, it's very interesting, and I also rewarded the creators of the comics!" ”
"No, Spider-Woman must hate demons!" Gwen swears, "Even in the comics!" ”
……
After dinner, Gwen drops Locha downstairs, and the two stroll along the cobblestone paths in the greenery.
"You still have the attributes of an otaku? I found out tonight. Gwen looked at Lochael and said, "Didn't you hang out with your friends on the weekend?" Billiards, board games, parties and so on......"
"No, I don't have any friends." Loxia looked at Gwen with a grin, "It's just you." ”
"We're not friends!"
Gwen said and wrapped her arms around Locha's neck, and the two kissed before parting after dozens of seconds.
The two separated, and Gwen made a phone call.
"Call me when you're home."
"That should be a little late." "I've got some things to attend to tonight. ”
Gwen didn't care: "I'll wait, call me......"
ps:I've built a group.,Interested book friends can add it.,Discuss the plot and let me copy it...... Borrowing or something.
