Chapter 61

The power of the evil ghost's pumpkin bombs had increased significantly since the first time Spider-Man met him. Several bombs exploded in succession in the hall, and the shockwaves had already damaged the load-bearing walls supporting the roof. Spider-Man didn't have time to chase the evil ghost, who had flown away through the cracks in the roof. Among his many villains, there were too many with flying devices, each with their own unique features.

Notably, there were the evil ghost, the Green Goblin, the Red Goblin, Jack O'Lantern, and the demon goblin who had been transformed by demonic powers.

"Trying to run?" Imir, who had been watching, gritted his teeth in hatred. He didn't particularly hate the evil ghost.

But you can run, can't you? You even tried to kill everyone in the tech hall to cover your escape.

The evil ghost was worried that Spider-Man would catch up, so he aimed the pumpkin bombs at the structural nodes of the load-bearing walls. From the air, the tech center, having lost its support, had already begun to collapse.

Lu Xiang's subordinates fired their submachine guns at the evil ghost in a barrage of bullets, but in front of the evil ghost's agile demon glider, it was like a joke.

The demon glider was equipped with an evasion system, and their pitiful firing speed only made the evil ghost want to laugh out loud. He only needed to slightly twist his body to change direction and completely avoid the rain of bullets.

The speed of the bullets was indeed fast, but the people firing needed to aim and pull the trigger, which was enough for the evil ghost to predict the trajectory of the bullets. Flying in the air on his demon glider, as long as he didn't get too close to these suit-wearing men, the evil ghost was confident he could remain unscathed.

The only one who gave the evil ghost a bit of a headache was Lu Xiang, who led his subordinates in firing. This man was a trained killer, able to lock onto his position with just a feeling, without needing to aim.

If the material of the demon glider wasn't hard enough to block the bullets at critical moments, the evil ghost wouldn't be so relaxed now.

However, these were just minions. The real problem was Spider-Man. He had fought Spider-Man before and knew that with Spider-Man here, it would be impossible to capture Herbert Landon alive.

With a mad grin on his face, the evil ghost finally saw his chance and threw the pumpkin bomb in his hand. Using the collapsing tech hall to hold Spider-Man back, he could leave at his leisure.

The evil ghost hooked his foot and was about to operate the demon glider to leave, but at that moment, he suddenly felt a dark shadow in front of him. Something seemed to press down on his body, and the demon glider suddenly dropped in height.

A gunshot rang out.

The subordinate who fired was surprised. So many submachine guns had been aimed at the evil ghost without hurting him, but his pistol, which had accidentally discharged, somehow hit the evil ghost's shoulder.

This accidental discharge, which should have been harmless, actually managed to seriously wound such a madman. It was truly a coincidence.

"Good job! I'll give you a raise and a promotion when we get back!" Lu Xiang excitedly waved his fist. No matter what, this was damage inflicted by his subordinate on the evil ghost. After firing so many bullets, almost enough to support a small skirmish, it was finally not in vain.

Since no journalist was interviewing the evil ghost, no one would know that Imir had been meddling. He extinguished the flames in his eyes; with so many people around, he could only secretly use his grudge power to increase the probability of "accidents."

Imir's grudge curse wasn't magic; it couldn't achieve specific effects like the tomb curses in the Egyptian pyramids. His grudge curse ability was to alter the probability of events, similar to the series of coincidences and accidents in the "Final Destination" movies from his past life.

Of course, Imir was a grudge ghost, not an angel. His curses mainly altered the probability of dangerous events.

For example, a soldier's pistol accidentally discharging, and the bullet hitting the flying evil ghost. This was a series of almost impossible events, but based on Imir's grudge, the cause and effect were forcibly twisted to make it happen.

In the Marvel universe, the power systems were largely divided into technology, magic, etc. However, in terms of stealth, Imir's paranormal abilities were the most bizarre and impossible to resist.

The result was undoubtedly satisfactory. Not only had his abilities not been exposed, but he had successfully tested his newly discovered power. Imir could feel that his curse power had not dissipated and was still attached to the evil ghost, like a large light bulb in the dark, always reporting the evil ghost's location to Imir.

In the new tech center hall, no one except the evil ghost, who was hit by a mysterious bullet, and the "lucky" suit-wearing man who felt something was off, noticed Imir's small black hand.

However, now wasn't the time to gloat. The building was about to collapse, and Spider-Man had already taken action. He shot spider silk from his wrists, trying to stick to every dangerous spot, but a building with its structure damaged by the evil ghost wasn't something Spider-Man alone could hold up.

He wasn't the angry Hulk or a strength-based superhero; at best, he could only delay the collapse for a moment: "I have to hold up the roof as quickly as possible so people have time to run out!"

"Hold on, you must hold on..." Spider-Man forced himself to look away and not see the unrighteous Imir, who was huddling with Kathleen, squeezing out of the new tech center's door amidst the crowd.

This wasn't because Imir was afraid of death; he had already died twice. If he could, he wouldn't mind dying a few more times.

Moreover, even if the entire building collapsed, as long as Imir transformed into his grudge ghost form, he wouldn't be harmed and could pass through the rubble.

However, in the face of the collapse, Imir was helpless; his abilities were not applicable here. He also had to protect Kathleen, and who knew if the evil ghost would come back to take advantage of Spider-Man's distraction and target Herbert again. It wasn't impossible!

Spider-Man was just venting in his mind. Each superhero had different abilities. Imir staying behind wouldn't help and might even interfere with him. Now, he was really like a large spider, shooting spider silk from his wrists to form a large web on the roof, temporarily holding up the collapse.
