Spider-Man, New York residents' friendly neighbor.
When he saw a suspicious 'moth' appearing outside the window of someone else's company at night, he naturally had to investigate.
To be honest, Ice Phantom didn't expect to encounter him so coincidentally.
She felt a bit unlucky.
From his appearance and attire, Ice Phantom felt he didn't resemble the Spider-Man portrayed by Tom Holland in the MCU.
He felt more like the Garfield version.
But... for now, it's better to run.
Facing Spider-Man's inquiry, she didn't hesitate, gave no answer, and suddenly flapped her wings, diving rapidly towards the ground.
During her flight, her body instantly became translucent, and all the web-fluid shot from Spider-Man's hands above passed through her body.
"If you're really treating trade secrets as food, Ms. Moth, I hope you either pay for them properly, don't dine and dash, or return the trade secrets, how about it?" Spider-Man swung his arms, and two streams of web-fluid accurately shot towards the adjacent buildings, using the recoil to chase after her like an arrow released from a bow.
He was extremely fast, constantly shooting web-fluid from his hands, accelerating his dive towards the ground. The web-fluid traced silver-white arcs in the air as he desperately tried to close the distance with Ice Phantom.
Ice Phantom transformed into a translucent shadow, passing through the bustling streets, spotting an old apartment building by the roadside, and without hesitation, plunged headfirst into the wall.
Spider-Man, who was close behind, clung to the wall Ice Phantom had passed through, feeling a bit puzzled.
This wall was a genuine wall, so how did that big moth just pass through it?
And the glass on Stark Tower earlier.
Moreover... Spider-Man felt his palms were cold as he lightly touched the wall he was currently clinging to.
But he couldn't dwell on it for too long; he still had to chase that thieving moth.
Choosing a direction at random, Spider-Man followed, swinging on his web.
Clearly, luck was on his side.
As he rounded the street corner, he saw Ice Phantom's figure.
"My dear moth friend! I also think Stark Industries' products are of high quality! But when we buy things, can't we at least pay for them?"
Hearing the breathless teasing voice behind her, Ice Phantom felt a bit helpless.
She could only say she greatly admired people who, even when tired, still couldn't stop talking.
However, since it was Little Spider... such chatter was understandable.
Forget it, if she had a chance to meet Deadpool this time, she would definitely find an excuse to beat him to a pulp.
Because she was kind!
Ice Phantom continued to traverse building after building, trying to shake off Little Spider behind her using her phasing ability.
But Little Spider was like he had a radar on him, impossible to shake off.
Watching Spider-Man closely behind her, immediately catching up even if he was momentarily left behind, Ice Phantom suddenly had a mischievous idea.
With a burst of speed, the translucent Ice Phantom directly rushed towards a nearby shopping mall.
When Spider-Man realized what she was trying to do, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
"Hey! Come back!"
Without time to think, Spider-Man quickly rushed forward.
After all, he didn't know what kind of creature was on the other side; it didn't look like anything from Earth.
If this thing suddenly started indiscriminate attacks in the mall, many people in New York would die.
But clearly, in such complex terrain, Ice Phantom's movement speed was much faster than Spider-Man's.
She fluttered her wings, like an ice cannonball, and shot straight into the mall's revolving door.
Spider-Man followed closely, shooting web-fluid in the air to latch onto the doorframe, using the momentum to swing into the mall.
Most businesses were closed at this time, and it was dinner time.
The mall was brightly lit, and Spider-Man ricocheted between the walls using his web, his red and blue figure constantly weaving above the heads of the crowd.
The web-fluid accurately stuck to the smooth marble walls and metal chandeliers, and the gusts of wind stirred the customers' clothes and hair.
A little girl had just raised her phone to take a picture, but was startled by Spider-Man suddenly passing overhead, screaming and burying herself in her mother's arms.
Several customers who were selecting goods were startled by the sudden noise, knocking over shelves, and bottles and jars clattered to the floor.
"Excuse me! Coming through! Sorry!"
Spider-Man shouted while nimbly avoiding the crowd, but even so, his high-speed movement and web-slinging actions still plunged the entire mall into chaos.
And that's exactly what Ice Phantom wanted.
As the crowd screamed and fled and the scene completely spiraled out of control, Ice Phantom suddenly accelerated, flying directly towards the women's restroom on the second floor of the mall.
Several female customers passing by were forced back by the cold air, but she didn't care, passing boldly through the door marked with a female symbol right in front of Spider-Man, disappearing into the restroom.
Spider-Man chased to the entrance of the women's restroom and abruptly stopped, looked around, and quickly took two steps forward to stop a woman who had just come out of the restroom.
"Hello, ma'am, is anyone else inside the restroom?"
The stopped woman looked bewildered and shook her head: "I don't know, I wasn't paying attention to anyone else."
Looking at the 'New York pest' reported in the newspapers, the stopped woman didn't want to cause trouble, and after saying this, she hurried away.
Spider-Man stared at the closed restroom door, gritting his teeth, his expression under the mask looking somewhat helpless.
"Come out! Moth friend! It's very dangerous in there! There are bug zappers!" He raised his voice, shouting inside.
But after waiting for a long time, there was no reaction from inside.
Spider-Man stood still for a moment, listening to the gradually subsiding noise in the mall, and thought to himself: "That big moth probably escaped in the chaos."
However, recalling Ice Phantom's various actions during the chase, although she did run into the Stark Industries CEO's office and did something unknown, the conflict along the way did not harm anyone.
On the other hand, he himself, in order to catch this mysterious guy, instead caused panic among citizens in the mall.
Forget it, she can pass through walls, if he can't catch her, then he won't. He'll go check outside the mall.
Although he had a premonition that the big moth was still in the women's restroom, he still turned and left.
After he left, a woman with long black hair, looking somewhat aloof, walked out of the women's restroom, her expression carrying a hint of regret.
And if any Gotham elites were here, they would surely recognize this face as belonging to the second young lady of the Wayne Family, Brucey Wayne.
Yes, Gwen had switched her alien hero form to a Purplenite in the restroom, and through the Purplenite's disguise ability, she had transformed herself into the likeness of Little Brucey.
She had originally thought that if Spider-Man rushed in, she would pretend to be a lady using the restroom, expressing with a horrified look, "Spider-Man, you pervert!"
Then she would rush out, crying and making a scene, and after hearing the explanation, she would suddenly realize, "Oh, it was a misunderstanding, I'm so sorry, Spider-Man."
Hmm, it seems there's no chance to see Little Spider unable to voice his grievances; what a pity.
