"Lauren, shall we go to the jewelry store later? The store around the corner recently had a new batch of jewelry? 33?? Mia-style jewelry. "It was time to end school at the Metropolitan High School.
Although these students were already in their third year of high school, American universities didn't only look at the joint test scores, and some of them, like Li Jie, didn't plan to go to college.
Therefore, everyone's academic pressure wasn't particularly heavy. Therefore, there was a girl who invited her friend to go shopping after school.
The girl named Roland looked very gentle. She had a head of long brown hair, thick eyebrows, and big eyes, giving people a very spirited feeling.
She didn't wear lipstick, but her lips were a healthy and beautiful red.
Hearing her friend's invitation, she smiled faintly. "I think so, but we'd better go home early today."
"Why? Are your parents afraid that you'll play too late and will ground you? "The girl said with a smile. "Let's go, Lauren. I think we might have time to watch a movie after we're done shopping."
In the class next to Lauren, Li Jie and Peter were also packing up for school.
"Did you remind Gwen? Tonight is the carnival of vampires, so it's better for her not to go out. "Li Jie packed up his bag and walked to Peter's side, asking in a low voice.
"Oh, I did. She wants to know why, but I don't know how to explain. Although she promised that she would stay at home tonight and persuaded her family to stay at home, she wants me to explain why afterwards. "
Peter scratched his head in distress. Gwen was a very independent girl. She believed that what Peter did must be meaningful, but she needed an explanation.
Therefore, she agreed to Peter's proposal to let her stay at home tonight, but she needed a reasonable explanation. This really troubled Peter, how should he tell Gwen about tonight's special situation.
"Okay, buddy, let's get through this first." Li Jie patted Peter's shoulder, and the two walked out of the classroom together.
Just out of the classroom, a girl running in the hallway almost bumped into the two.
But Li Jie and Peter reacted quickly and dodged the girl. But the girl was startled by the sudden appearance of the two people, and she almost slipped and fell.
"Oh, girl, be careful." Li Jie and Peter reached out to hold the girl at the same time.
"Wendy, I told you not to be so anxious, your phone must be still in the classroom." A girl who caught up from behind said while panting. It was Lauren and her friend.
"Oh, thank … thank you." The girl named Wendy glanced at Li Jie with some embarrassment, completely ignoring Peter who was beside her.
"Are you alright, Wendy?" Roland walked to Wendy and asked.
"It's fine, it's fine. Let's go, Roland." Wendy was about to lead Roland away when she turned around to look at Li Jie.
Roland also looked back at Li Jie curiously. His pupils constricted subconsciously, and then widened again. There was a puzzled look in her eyes.
"Oh, man, it looks like you've charmed this girl." Peter looked at the two girls walking into the classroom next door and elbowed Li Jie in the chest.
"I can't help it. I'm just so charming." Li Jie said shamelessly.
Peter pretended to vomit as if he couldn't stand it anymore. The two of them joked around and left the school.
Because of the previous speculation, everyone thought that vampires would definitely come out to cause trouble on the Vampire Carnival on September 21st. So Li Jie and Peter were already prepared.
Li Jie specially drove to pick up his grandfather, Li Rong, and went home to rest early. He went to Mr. Li Restaurant to replace his grandfather. The restaurant was usually open until nine o 'clock in the evening.
After the restaurant closed, Li Jie went home to take a shower. Then, he pretended to be tired and went to bed early. Then, he locked his room door and sneaked out of the house.
Inside the Nightcrawler Base, the people who were now grouped together for various reasons were standing in front of the conference table.
"These are the earplugs I made a few days ago." Peter took out a few earplugs and put them on the table.
"With a very small signal amplification device, we can guarantee our long-distance radio communication."
"And there are several built-in special channels, which include the New York Police Station, the police radio station, SWAT's special channel, and the signal stations of several other government departments."
"We can monitor all kinds of things happening in New York City through these earplugs."
Li Jie picked up an earplug and a signal amplifier and put them on. The others also put on headphones.
"Good job, Spider-man." Damon put on the headphones and praised him.
"It's all thanks to a certain retired police officer who provided me with so much useful information about the police force and the government. That's why I was able to do it so smoothly." Peter pointed at Damon with his finger and made a "you know," gesture.
Everyone smiled lightly. The only one who had a bitter face was Ming Di, who was doing her homework in the distance.
Frank had already contacted a school for her. She was currently in the sixth grade of elementary school. However, she had fallen behind a lot of homework, so Peter and Li Jie had been tutoring her.
Fortunately, Ming Di was very smart and learned quickly.
"Nightcrawler, what do you think we should do?" In the past, Frank did the commanding and assigning tasks, but this time, he asked Li Jie to do it.
This was Frank's attempt to train Li Jie. During the days he worked with Li Jie, Frank thought that Li Jie was a promising talent.
He had a strong sense of justice, and he would not be overly kind like Peter, nor would he be overly tyrannical like himself.
The only thing he lacked was his strength and experience.
However, these could be accumulated over time, so Frank tried to make Li Jie the leader of the team instead of himself.
Li Jie sorted out his thoughts and said, "There are only four of us. It's obvious that we can't spread all over New York to restrain those vampires. "
"Even the defense of the entire Queens will be stretched thin with the four of us."
"So I personally think that we can only carry out heavy surveillance. First, we can only monitor Queens."
"Frank, Damon, and I will spread out to patrol Queens. Spider-man, you are the fastest in the city, so prepare to be a firefighter."
"If there is any place that needs support or we can't get to, we will leave it to you." Li Jie said and looked at Peter.
"Okay, I understand, but if we are only responsible for Queens, what if there are vampire attacks in other districts?" Peter raised his own question.
"We can't save everyone, sometimes we have to make a choice." Li Jie's tone was a little helpless.
This sentence made Peter secretly clench his fist.
"Spider-man, don't worry too much. Although the government is incompetent, not everyone will sit and wait for death." Frank looked at Peter and said.
"At least S.H.E.L.D. will send more people to patrol tonight. Be careful not to provoke the people of S.H.E.L.D.." Frank reminded.
"Okay, gentlemen, let's get moving. We will be very busy tonight. "Finally, after Li Jie shouted, everyone left the base and stepped into the vast night.
