I'm the Demon King in Marvel

"Principal Riddle!" X3
Peter Parker, Gwen Stacy and Ned Leeds stood respectfully in front of the great principal.
"First of all, congratulations on your individual scores being ranked in the top three in the school this semester." Tom applauded politely, and then said, "However, before the end of this semester, you can choose whether to carry out a semester mission to obtain the final 'School Cup' reward."
"Semester mission?" Peter asked in surprise, "Can we still go out on missions?"
The lively and active Peter has been locked up in school for a whole semester and has not gone out for nearly half a year. Although Hogwarts is magical and there are many interesting places, he has already visited all the places he can enter within one semester.
Women's toilets are not included.
Peter was so happy to hear that he could still go out and complete the task before the end of the semester.
"Yes, outstanding students at Hogwarts are required to perform a task of a certain degree of difficulty every semester. Only by completing the challenges of each semester can they become the best graduates of the school."
Tom was talking nonsense in all seriousness.
"Of course, you can choose to refuse. After all, going out on missions is dangerous. The school does not force students to accept missions. It will only give generous rewards to students who successfully complete the mission, such as powerful magic props or secret techniques..."
"I want to go!" Ned was the first to step forward.
After realizing how talented he was, he had already developed an air of dominance that no one else could do it better than him. This kind of mission that no one else was qualified to take on and only he could handle was tailor-made for Lord Liz!
"I am coming too!"
Peter was a step behind, feeling quite annoyed.
Why don't you speak up sooner?
Gwen, however, was much more cautious and asked, "Principal, is the task difficult? Will there be any punishment if I cannot complete it?"
“The task is of a certain degree of difficulty, and no one can predict what will happen, so students are allowed to give up the task without any penalty.”
Tom knew the leader's way of speaking very well, and all the talk before the turning point was bullshit.
"However, the wizarding world is not peaceful. You have already learned in class that white wizards are always facing threats. In addition to the black wizards who are their mortal enemies, there are also the sources of their power - dark creatures and dimensional demons."
"Therefore, magicians who live in a greenhouse are destined to never grow into the backbone of the magic world."
"I am willing to accept the mission." Gwen looked determined.
Gwen has a strong character and is never afraid of challenges. In order to grow faster and help her father, she has been working very hard this semester. There is no reason for her to back down now.
"very good."
Tom smiled with satisfaction, he stood up and left his desk, walked to the display shelf, took out three bottles of potion, turned around and handed them to the three people.
"Here are three bottles of healing potions. Take them for self-defense."
"Thank you, Principal!" X3
After Tom returned to his desk, he took out an envelope, handed it to Gwen, who was the most stable, and said, "This is your mission this time."
"Go back and prepare first, and gather at the teleportation hall in fifteen minutes."
The "superhero team" that used to carry out similar operations in Queens suddenly received a formal mission. They were so excited that they walked with the wind, and finally they just ran without restraint.
In less than ten minutes, the three of them arrived at the school's teleportation hall, each carrying a bag.
This is something Lin Hao came up with by referring to the teleportation chamber in Kamar-Taj. He made "door keys" to major countries in the world and the earth in advance.
Just now, Tom went to Phoenix, the capital of Arizona, in person and located a blank "portkey" here.
"Take your broomstick and go!"
Peter and his two companions arrived in Phoenix, the capital of Arizona, through the "portkey", and immediately rode their broomsticks into the sky in a deserted place.
Although the three were young, they knew that wizards were rare in America or anywhere else except Hogwarts.
In order to complete the task as quickly as possible, the three did not want to cause any trouble and had no plans to contact other people.
"The mission target is a desert town in the northwest. The mission content is to investigate the reason why a large number of residents in this town are sick."
Gwen naturally took over the position of captain. Although Peter felt a little resentful, he also knew that this was their very crucial first mission, so he did not compete with Gwen for it.
They rode their broomsticks for more than an hour before finally arriving at the small town in the desert.
The three of them landed on the outskirts of the town, hid their brooms in a crevice of a rock, and covered them with weeds.
The three took off their Hogwarts uniforms and put on ordinary clothes, just like three ordinary teenagers, walking into the empty and quiet town normally.
"Since the principal said there are many patients here, let's go to the hospital first."
Gwen looked at her two teammates, Peter and Ned had no objections.
This town used to be a mining town. At its peak, it had a population of 20,000 to 30,000 people. It was no worse than small cities in many parts of the United States. It had complete facilities and specialized schools and hospitals.
However, resource-based cities cannot escape the fate of "people gather where there are mines, but people disperse where there are mines". As the mineral resources were mined out, the town quickly lost its popularity and became increasingly desolate.
The only people left in the town were old people who were reluctant to leave and children whose parents were no longer around.
"Left-behind children" are not unique to China. There are young parents struggling to make a living all over the world.
The three of them arrived at the largest hospital in the town center, and Gwen distributed the Bluetooth headsets and walkie-talkies she had prepared in advance to her teammates.
"I have already set up the communication channel. I will keep you connected at any time."
After that, he looked at Peter and suggested, "You are the best at pleasing adults. Go in and pretend to see a doctor. Ned and I will go to the inpatient department in the back first."
"Well, only I can complete this task." Peter looked arrogant.
Turn around and walk into the outpatient building.
Gwen and Ned headed towards the inpatient department at the back.
Just as the three little ones started to act, Steve and his group, as adults, had already reached the mining area outside the town.
"Captain, I've found out everything." A civilian eunuch ran to the hill and reported to Steve who was guarding there: "The guard at the mine said that the chemical company had been dumping waste into the mine."
“It suddenly stopped two days ago, and instead started transporting live poultry and animals. It seems that someone used the mine as a slaughterhouse.”
"The guard was sent away every time, but he said he could smell blood from a distance."
"Living creature?" Steve sensed his surroundings and clearly did not detect any fluctuations of magic or divine power.
After inheriting the position of Lord of Hell, Steve's strength skyrocketed, and his magical perception ability was enough to cover the entire town.
"Let's just rush in. With our fighting power, we can even break into the White House." A hot-tempered civilian eunuch said impatiently.
Steve was silent for a moment and made a decision: "Do it after dark to avoid alerting the guards in the town."
They have discovered that there is a group of mysterious armed men stationed in this town. Because they are relatively scattered and the other party's bottom line is unclear, Steve is not in a hurry to deal with them.
Some people also stay here to fish and see what forces are behind the scenes.
Chapter 221 The Magical Spider Team in Action
In the hospital in the desert town, Peter pretended to have a stomachache and ran to the reception desk and cried to the elderly nurse: "Nurse... Grandma, my stomach hurts so much!"
The old nurse raised her head, shifted her gaze from the gossip magazine to the reception desk, and saw a boy about twelve or thirteen years old.
I didn't care at first and was about to point the way, but suddenly I realized: "You...you are not a child from our town!"
Peter was dumbfounded. He quickly glanced at the nurse's name tag and said with a flattering smile, "Grandma Samantha, don't you remember me?"
"I'm Ned!"
"You...you..." The old man looked very panicked, winking at Peter, his lips moving as if shouting: 'Go! There is danger here!'
Although Peter is lively, he is not stupid at all. He is observant and very smart.
Seeing the nurse's performance, how could you not know that there was a problem?
"Hey, my stomach doesn't hurt anymore!" Peter said cutely, "The hospital in this town is amazing. I feel better as soon as I come in."
After saying that, he turned around and ran towards the door.
Two bodyguards suddenly appeared in front of the gate, but they were carrying real weapons, even submachine guns on their backs.
Two bodyguards blocked Peter and took out a tablet to take pictures of him.
Peter's hand had already reached into his trouser pocket, ready to take out his wand, but he changed his mind and tried to go deeper into the tiger's den.
After comparing the results, one of the bodyguards said in surprise: "What's going on? This kid is not a resident of the town."
"Are there any foreign vehicles in town today?" another bodyguard asked with a puzzled look.
"What on earth are the people in the monitoring room doing?" The bodyguard who had just spoken said angrily, "I think they must be drinking and gambling again."
"It's not our responsibility, just report it."
The two discussed the matter in front of Peter, not worrying that the little devil would get out of control.
Peter heard it, and Gwen and Ned, who had already sneaked into the inpatient building at the back, also heard it through the intercom that was on hold.
Gwen and Ned looked at each other, and suddenly they heard a slight tapping sound coming from the headphones. It was very regular and it was Morse code.
Peter told his two teammates about his idea of going deep into the tiger's den.
Gwen and Ned had no choice but to tap the walkie-talkies in their trouser pockets to indicate that they understood.
Then they quickly separated and rushed to the wards on both sides of the corridor.
They had to find out the situation in the inpatient department as quickly as possible and then rush over to rescue Peter.
The sudden appearance of the armed bodyguards and their unscrupulous conversation made the three children realize that this hospital and this town were not simple. No wonder the principal regarded it as a semester assignment.
The principal must have noticed the problem here.
Gwen pushed open the door of the inpatient ward and saw five beds inside. There were no nurses, no accompanying family members, only five elderly people lying alone on the beds.
The old people were sleeping and their breathing was very weak.
Gwen stepped forward and quickly checked the bed and bedside table, only to find that there was nothing but five elderly people, not even a medical record, only a string of cold numbers in front of the bed, like the numbers stamped on live pigs in a slaughterhouse.
"What medicine is this?" Gwen finally turned her gaze to the liquid medicine that the five patients were receiving.
There is also only a string of numbers on the medicine bottle, without even a name or manufacturer.
Even though Gwen was only a girl of twelve or thirteen, she understood that the packaging of the medicine must have the manufacturer's information, otherwise who could she turn to if something went wrong?
There must be something wrong with such a strange medicine, and it may be the key to finding out the cause of the residents' illness.
So Gwen quickly checked the other wards, found a bottle of medicine that had just been infused, and quickly took it off.
