Chapter 19: Saving the day
Chapter 19: Saving the day
New York City.
On the top floor of a building, Gwen was sitting on the edge with her feet dangling constantly.
She is dressed in a black and white jumpsuit with spider web designs on the arms, she also has a white hood with spider web designs on the inside and a mask next to her
"Arthur's proposal was very good. With this radio, I will be able to receive news about crimes in New York firsthand."
Gwen wore headphones and held a small radio in her hand.
The radio frequency was linked to that of the police.
With this, she could receive news of emergencies at any time.
As her mind wandered, information suddenly came on the radio.
[There is a robbery taking place in a jewelry store, the robber has a firearm.]
[The robber is running from the main street towards the fifth block, asking for support to intercept.]
"Incoming call!"
Gwen grabbed the mask next to her and placed it directly on her head.
The mask sits very close to her face and also outlines her face.
After putting on her mask, Gwen stood up and threw herself forward with her arms open.
"Woohoo!!!"
The lightness of the extremely quick fall made her adrenaline soar.
It was incomparably exciting.
When she was getting dangerously close to the ground, Gwen pressed her two fingers into her palm, and a white spider web shot out from her wrist.
Her figure quickly attracted many people's attention.
"Look, what is this?"
"Does it look like a person?"
"Idiot! Where have you ever seen people flying?"
On the way, many people raised their heads and looked at the figure passing by at high speed in the air.
Someone even took out their phone to record and post it on social media.
Many people were wondering what this is.
A few seconds later, more and more posts like this appeared on social media, which generated more and more discussions.
Gwen, as the main character, didn't realize the commotion she had caused.
Because she was in a hurry to have her first fight against crime.
--------
At the same time.
In a publishing house on the streets of New York, Jean slowly left the building.
Through her telepathic powers, she easily got the address of Arthur's house.
Just as she was about to catch a taxi on the side of the road, Jean looked up and saw something passing by her at high speed.
Jean's face suddenly changed: "What's the matter with this mutant? Why is she showing herself so openly?"
Jean subconsciously classifies any humans with special abilities as Mutants.
When Jean came to, she wanted to remind the other party not to show off so much through her powers.
But the person had already disappeared from her sight.
If she used her powers now, she could cause a bigger commotion.
"Forget it, I'd better go to Arthur first."
---------
Gwen swung over the city and quickly approached her destination.
Soon she arrived at the fifth block area, and after a slight observation, she found the figure of the robber.
After all, there was a big commotion, and several police officers were around him, which made him even more conspicuous.
It seemed like he discovered that he wouldn't be able to escape.
Then thief immediately took a girl hostage on the road and put a gun to her head.
"You guys, don't come here!"
"Let me go."
The police officers immediately formed a circle and began negotiating with him.
The police officer hiding in the dark continued asking for support: "Captain, we need reinforcements, he is holding a child hostage."
On the other side of the intercom, a male voice immediately sounded.
"Stabilize the situation immediately, stabilize the thief's mood, and make sure you don't provoke him. I'm heading over there immediately."
"Understood, Captain Stacy!"
In addition to the police officers, there were also many onlookers watching the show.
Everyone took out their cell phones to take photos and record.
No matter how hard the police tried to persuade them to leave, it was futile.
They thought the thief couldn't hurt them with a hostage.
Seeing that he couldn't persuade them to leave, the police didn't want to waste time on it.
Ignoring the crowd, they continued trying to negotiate with the thief.
"You can ask for anything, and we will do our best to satisfy you."
"Put the girl down first!"
"Go away, go away!"
The thief constantly threatened the police officer with the girl, and the girl's crying made him extremely angry.
"Shut up! Stop crying, or I'll put a bullet in your fucking head!!"
When he said those words.
He immediately aroused the disgust of most of the people present.
Everyone started insulting the thief.
The situation gradually got out of control, and the police officers were completely out of control.
"Damn it!!"
"Even if I die, I'll take her with me!"
After speaking, he removed the safety catch on the pistol, ready to pull the trigger.
"Not my daughter!"
At this critical moment, a figure quickly passed by, and the thief who was about to pull the trigger realized that he was unable to move.
There's something white covering him...
Cobweb?
"Hey, it's not a nice thing to bully kids. Now hand me that cute little girl, OK?"
The voice behind him scared the thief immediately.
When he turned around, there was nothing behind him.
In the next moment, he felt his arms become lighter.
(Huh? Where's that brat!?)
At this moment, Gwen was in front of him, comforting the crying little girl in her arms, "It's okay~."
"Who are you?"
"Uh~"
Gwen made a thoughtful movement: (Hm... Now that I think about it, I still haven't given myself a name.)
"Give me back the hostage!"
This hostage is the key to your survival.
"And why would I do that?"
Gwen threw the spider web again from her wrist, which stuck directly to the thief's foot, and the thief, who lost his center of gravity, fell directly to the ground.
Gwen shot several spider webs again, pinning him directly to the ground.
"Okay, the bad guy has been eliminated." n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"Now stop crying, okay? I'm going to take you to find your mommy."
When the police saw that the thief had been subdued, they immediately rushed to arrest him.
And Gwen returned the girl to her mother.
Someone in the crowd applauded, immediately after that there was thunderous applause and whistles in the crowd.
Seeing that her work was done, Gwen launched her web at the nearest building and left.
