Astoria, Queens.
It was already late at night, and this Mexican neighborhood had put away the bustle and laziness of the day and seemed unusually quiet under the cold evening breeze and the moonlight.
Occasionally, a black cat would pass by in search of food. It would move briskly among the open-air stalls and tables and chairs, whimpering from time to time, as if expressing its dissatisfaction with the cold winter.
After another graceful leap, it arrived at a rooftop from which it could see its entire territory.
At this time, the black cat also used the moonlight to awaken the two green children. They hung abruptly in the darkness, like torches from hell, serving the king of the night.
Suddenly, the two vertical legs tightened rapidly, trembling rapidly and turned in a certain direction, as if they saw something that made them afraid.
Under a flickering street lamp at a distant corner, the air suddenly fluctuated strangely, and soon the surrounding space began to distort, and finally spit out two humans.
There is an enemy invasion!
The black cat screamed, instantly losing all its bravado and fled away.
The intruders were naturally Lynn and Spider-Man.
"Hey brother, what happened!" Spider-Man came out of his confusion and was surprised that he suddenly appeared in another place.
"Grr!" Lynn leaned over and retched without answering.
He had previously discovered that his Apparition Charm rarely went wrong, and thought that he had already mastered the spell, so this time he tried to bring Spider-Man along, but he didn't expect that he would have to try hard to hold on to him in the process, causing him to bear double the physical burden.
"Hey, are you okay?" The little spider acted as if nothing happened.
This is probably due to his long experience in flying with spider webs, and his physical fitness is far stronger than Lin En.
"It's okay, it's okay. How about it? The Apparition Spell is pretty cool, right..." Lin En quickly adjusted his state and stood up, pretending to be calm.
"Cool, cooler, coolest!" The little spider looked around curiously, his mind still thinking about the environment just now, and his mouth under the mask opened into an "O" shape.
“Ahem, the downside is that I need to shoulder your share of the burden when leading others, and to be honest, it’s quite overwhelming.” Lin En tried to make amends for himself.
"Hey listen buddy, I suddenly have a cool idea!" Spider-Man was still immersed in this wonderful experience, wondering what new idea he had come up with.
"Hmm?" Lynn raised his brow.
"Well, as a dedicated citizen who likes to fight crime, you know that sometimes I can't always get to the scene in the first place, and most of the time I need to be on the road, so I was thinking—"
"Stop, this is another price." Lin En naturally knew what Spider-Man meant.
"Brother, this is a great idea!" Spider-Man used his classic pose, opened his arms and argued with Lynn, "Just imagine the scene where those criminals see us suddenly appear in front of them, so cool! I think we can even form a group, how about the name 'Flashing Spider'... Hey, wait a minute."
Spider-Man quickly caught up with Lin En who turned around and left.
"If I remember correctly, I am the captain now, and we are in the enemy's hinterland, which is extremely dangerous, so the captain's first order is - shut up."
"You really won't think about it?"
"Spider, shut up!" Lin En remembered the time when he and Little Spider teamed up to fight Big Spider, and the other party couldn't stop talking.
It feels like when you are playing a dungeon and someone is always playing ads on the public channel.
"Oh~" The little spider felt very sorry.
"Let's carry out the first step of the plan and catch a tongue." Lin En was very satisfied when he saw that Spider-Man followed the instructions.
The little spider was about to speak, but suddenly remembered something, stopped talking, and raised his hand.
"Corporal Spider, please speak." Lynn spoke like a general.
"Yes, sir! Are you going to arrest people like this without any disguise?"
"Very good, Corporal Spider-Man, your ideas are very constructive, keep it up!" Lin En remembered that the original plan also included the Disillusionment Spell.
So he shook his wand and cast a spell on the little spider, making him invisible quickly.
"Cool!" The other party's exclamation came in the air.
"Start the action now, and come back to this place after we catch the person." Lin En gave the order.
But then, he heard a "Duang" sound, followed by the little spider's low call.
"Shit, I can't aim now!"
No wonder, he has always been used to aiming at the target with his hands. Now his arms are empty, just like an FPS game that has lost its crosshairs. It would be strange if he could still aim accurately.
"Corporal Spider-Man, we have to learn to be flexible. Cancel the airstrike plan and switch to ground operation!" Lynn almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
"receive!"
A long wait followed.
Ten minutes later, Lynn leaned back in a chair at the open-air restaurant, her eyes narrowed and almost closed.
At this moment, he vaguely saw from his vision that something seemed to be floating on the empty street in the distance.
It was like a corpse with drooping limbs and head, trembling in the air as it moved towards him.
Seeing this strange scene, Lin En shuddered.
He woke up suddenly, thinking it was some Mexican evil spirit, then he slapped his head and remembered that it was Spider-Man returning with a mission.
"The curse stops immediately." He rubbed his temples and lifted the curse.
"Wow, the effect is amazing!" Spider-Man threw the man onto the empty seat next to him, and reluctantly looked down at the body that had already appeared. "What should we do next?"
"Pay attention to discipline, Corporal Spider-Man." Lynn noticed that Spider-Man was about to start talking again.
"OK, OK, sir." Spider-Man saluted.
"Next we need to pry some information out of this unlucky guy..." Lynn patted the fainted guy's face and found that he had a typical Mexican appearance with unusually thick eyebrows.
"Whisper."
"Recover quickly."
"Confusing the public."
Lynn thought quickly and cast several spells in succession, so that the other party would not yell as soon as he woke up, but would answer his questions obediently.
"Cool!" The little spider on the side didn't expect that magic could be used in this way, and acted as a repeater again.
Lynn asked the question with ease.
"Where is your boss?"
"The card room in front."
"lead the way."
The Confusion Spell is simply Lynn's Happy Spell. This spell may not be so effective in the wizarding world, but when used on Muggles, its effect is comparable to the Imperius Curse.
Lin En suddenly felt that if he were in the wizarding world, the few spells he had just cast would be enough for him to kiss Dementors for the rest of his life.
