Peter escapes, the police arrive.

  "Hmm... this smell..." Merlin stretched his head and looked down through the broken hole. A foul odor immediately rushed into his nostrils through the sewer, and he almost couldn't breathe.

"It looks like the person slipped away through the sewer." After confirming that the other party had escaped, he relaxed and looked at Gwen who was hanging upside down on the ceiling.

"Are you going to chase after him?"

Gwen glanced at the sewer and gave him a speechless look.

"If you're willing to chase, I'll follow."

"Forget it, I'm not a superhero. I thought this little taste wouldn't be a big deal for you guys." Merlin spread his hands and thought about teasing the other person.

"By the way, you just called my name, do you know me?"

Gwen's body stiffened immediately, as she couldn't help but shout out the other person's name out of worry.

Fortunately, she was wearing a mask, so the other party couldn't see her expression.

"That's what your friends call you." She quickly thought of an excuse and said it as if nothing had happened. Then she didn't want to continue talking about this topic. The more she talked, the more flaws she would reveal, so she changed the subject.

"I admire your courage, but you are just an ordinary person. You only have one life. Don't take such risks in the future." She warned in a serious tone.

"Leave this matter to me."

"There's nothing I can do. Who knows why he keeps staring at me?" Merlin was also a little helpless.

Gwen was silent after hearing this. She didn't quite understand. Could it be that someone had sent them to assassinate her?

She knew something about Merlin and his father. She even went to look for them after gaining the ability. But when she went there, those gangs had been wiped out.

"By the way, help me find my friend. Her name is Gwen. She has short blond hair. I don't know where she went in the chaos just now."

"No problem!" Gwen was relieved to hear that Merlin had not forgotten her.

...

Gwen disappeared into the bathroom swinging on the spider web, and Merlin was ready to go home.

"Hannah!" As soon as I turned the corner, I saw Hannah walking cautiously along the wall.

"Oh my God, are you okay?" Hannah seemed startled by the shouting, but she immediately relaxed when she saw Merlin come out safely.

"It's okay, but the monster still ran away. Let's wait here for Gwen." Merlin comforted her.

"Gwen...By the way, when did Gwen disappear? Is she okay?" Hannah remembered Gwen when she heard his reminder.

"Don't worry, she'll be back soon." Merlin took Hannah back to the hall with the rifle, picked up the discarded atomic gun, and put the rifle back into the box and tidied it up.

Incendiary bullets, like armor-piercing, high-explosive, metal, hollow and other bullets, are all special bullets.

Requires a MK2 firearm to equip.

Hannah, who followed them, was still a little confused, but soon, Gwen, with blonde hair, found them with a happy look on her face.

"Merlin! Hannah! I'm so glad you're all right."

Hannah looked at Merlin in confusion, wondering how he was so sure that Gwen was okay and would be found.

"It's so sad that you abandoned us at the critical moment." Merlin said sadly, holding the weapon box.

"Ah... this..." Gwen, who had originally been full of joy, was suddenly embarrassed, but she soon thought of an excuse.

"No, it's like this, I was running with the crowd, and I thought you guys caught up."

"I noticed that you two didn't catch up, so I ran back impatiently."

"I'm really sad because I was worried about you and I went out of my way to find it, regardless of the danger, and yet you were still suspected." Gwen took the initiative and showed an aggrieved expression.

"Really?" Merlin gave her a strange look. It was the first time he realized that the other person's acting skills were so good.

...

Soon, police cars arrived at the school and cordoned off the entire venue.

Some brave teachers and students did not go far, but watched curiously outside the venue. After the police arrived, they carefully followed them into the venue.

"Gwen, Merlin!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Merlin and Gwen stopped bickering and looked towards the door.

George, wearing a bulletproof vest and holding a pistol, looked at the two men in surprise.

To be honest, when he heard from the people who had just escaped that neither Gwen nor Merlin had come out, he thought that something had happened to them.

Therefore, with every step closer, his heart tightened, but fortunately, the two of them finally appeared in front of him intact.

"Dad!" Gwen also ran over happily.

...

After confirming that neither of them was injured, George finally felt relieved and then learned about the situation at the scene.

Because Gwen was not at the scene at the time, the only witnesses who repelled the monster were Spider-Man and Merlin.

Therefore, Gwen and Hannah could leave first, while Merlin was taken away by George.

But before leaving, Merlin threw the car keys to them again.

"As agreed, go back and wait for me." He winked at the two of them, then opened the car door and sat in George's passenger seat.

"After such a big thing happened, you're still in the mood to eat barbecue." Gwen couldn't help but complain as she took the car keys, and then asked Hannah next to her.

"are you going?"

"Of course, let's go. I've already told my family that everything is fine."

"Well, come to think of it, I haven't ridden that guy's big treasure yet, and he's so generous this time." Gwen swung the car keys in her hand and headed out of the school excitedly.

In the past, Merlin's Ducati was not allowed to be touched by others.

...

Manhattan Headquarters, inside the interrogation room.

George looked at the electromagnetic pulse transmitter in his hand and looked at Merlin sitting opposite him with some uncertainty.

"This... was developed by you?"

"Yes, this is my exhibit today, and you are my main customers." Merlin was not too nervous. He nodded and answered casually.

"So this rifle is yours too, Kangaroo's FAMAS?"

"Yes, I changed it a little bit." Merlin didn't bother with the name, and the modified gun was very similar to the FAMAS in Kangaroo Country, but the prototype before it was changed to MK2 was the QBZ95 rifle.

"You modified the gun yourself! Merlin, what have you been doing all this time?" After hearing Merlin's confirmation, George frowned. For the first time, he felt a sense of strangeness towards the child in front of him whom he treated as his own son.

He was such a well-behaved child before, but he seems to have changed since his best friend passed away.

"Maybe you should pay attention to the electromagnetic pulse transmitter." Merlin did not answer him, but glanced at the exhibit box on his right hand side, and then felt helpless.

"Besides, I am the hero who defeated the monster this time. I have asked all the questions that should be asked. How long are you going to keep me locked up? Gwen and the others are still waiting for me at home."
